Actually this is neither the only, nor even the primary purpose of FIT
images; these have a much wider scope of usage scenarios.

There is other hardware available (for example FPGA based) where this
does not apply.

GUIs  are  virtually  useless.  Learn  tools.  They're  configurable,
scriptable, automatable, cron-able, interoperable, etc. We don't need
no brain-dead winslurping monolithic claptrap.
