I assume that comment was done prior to our refactorings of the image
classes, pulling OE logic for compression support etc., things that will
make multi-format for single run way more natural and desirable.

The problem of multiplying the workdirs for different format types is
that sharing becomes impossible, and that is against the main
multiconfig goal.
