Description
See e.g. https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/5544 and https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/5535#issuecomment-3862341363.
Those files are tiny and should be considered as having lower stability than packaged content or unpackaged content mostly derived from packaged content (e.g. the initramfs).
