That's certainly one of the ideas.  It also doesn't require that
the root filesystem on the target system be large enough to hold
everything (prior to copying trees around), doesn't require copying
trees around, and doesn't require resizing filesystems.

I'm not saying that image installation is intrinsically bad -- it
clearly works well for install from livecd, for instance -- but
it's not a replacement for archive installation.  :)
