Yes, fully agree.

Peng,

After the adoption of binman, both flash.bin and u-boot.itb need to be
flashed to the boot media.

This breaks user experience, distro integration, etc, which is not good.

Can we have binman generate a single bootable flash.bin binary (which
contains flash.bin + u-boot.itb) again
to keep compatibility and avoid breakage?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
