To minimize the peak in memory usage during boot. Consider the idea of having a
tgzarchive and having to extract all of its files in the root directory: doing that will require, even for a short period of time, keeping both the archive and all of its contents in memory. This is against Tilck's effort to reduce its memory footprint as much as possible; part of project's goals is being able to run on very limited systems.
