To me it makes sense to have it separated. os2008 is repository with sources for released firmware (IMO best would be to have os2008-2.2007.50-2 and os2008 being symlink to latest and keep few older ones too). You don't need repository for this but why not, you need to dump those files somewhere anyway (to satisfy GPL). It is better than one big tar archive as it was before. chinook is the SDK - it contains extra stuff for development, some stuff missing (provided by scratchbox), some stuff different that breaks the tablet but is needed in SDK etc So for me it makes sense. Also you can (and should) release os2008 repository at the time of firmware release. With SDK you can wait few days or weeks to make all tools ready. That was one 'excuse' we heard before (firmware is ready, SDK not, should we delay firmware because of this?). Also you can provide system updates via os200x repository. With the SDK one it is harder to not to break anything.
