The original idea, I believe, was to allow for the file to different per branch without breaking the one branch for all releases that many packager like. With modularity and stream branching, the ability to say: "I want PR filled for this version to this branch and for that version to that branch" would be neat, but this means having per-branch information that the-new-hotness will then access and act upon. Having this outside of the dist-git repo was meant to make it easier to tweak this file and have it diverge without having the different dist-git branches diverge.
