Hi,
compared to xenial [1], yakkety is missing a -root.tar.xz file.
The .tar.xz file is quite valuable compared to a -squashfs image for at least the following reasons:
a.) it is much less common denominator (mac or windows can open it)
b.) it is much smaller (138M compared to 171M for most recent xenial image)
c.) it can be "streamed", where the squashfs image must be downloaded in complete before it can be viewed. This is a significant optimization for where for a system that can download and check while extracting.
