sources folder

when creating a bootable usb using Microsofts MCT, it creates a sources folder with basically the same contents and what you would find in the boot.wim/sources/ (setup index).

Anyone know the reason for the duplication or have some background on this? Isn't the entire setup index of boot.wim is loaded into ram at boot time anyway. creating bootable winpe boot media with the ADK manually doesn't produce a sources folder with really anything other than a boot.wim.
 
I believe that this is only necessary for an in-place upgrade. Removing Manual Setup with NTLite removes unnecessary files for a clean install by booting the USB stick.
