As thus rootfs is universal, building it will allow end-users to directly be able to run a somewhat usable system on their devices, even if they are unable to bootstrap themselves one. Furthermore, this ensures that the requirements are built and do continue building on aarch64-linux.
Associativity strikes!

We cannot apply the compression outright on all builds as the image building infrastructure is not aware of compressed images.

This will ensure Hydra builds everything required for the rootfs, making sure our demo rootfs keeps being buildable.
This will also provide a trustable source for the rootfs so end-users can use a somewhat usable system on their device even if they do not have a native aarch64-linux system to build from.

Once merged:
inNixOSHydratrueto the jobset.The rootfs goes from 3.3GiB uncompressed to... 798MiB compressed! What a deal!
