It's not that it's complicated by that requirement.  It's that when you
have your source arranged as a few simple .st files, there's less
motivation to be able to easily unload/upgrade an existing image.  Just
start a new one, file in a few packages, and keep going.

Thus, the existence of DVS makes the effort required to bootstrap it not
worthwhile.
