After yocto the generated core-image-base-raspberrypi4.sdimg image is of 1.1GB size. But when I create artifact by adding just 2 packages “sudo” and “git” in release-v.2.0, I get following artifacts :  
a) release-v.1.0.mender (rootfs-image)  
b) release-v.2.0.mender (rootfs-image)  
c) v1.0-deltafrom-v2.0.mender (mender-binary-delta)  
d) v2.0-deltafrom-v1.0.mender (mender-binary-delta)  
as per [Robust delta update rootfs](https://hub.mender.io/t/robust-delta-update-rootfs/1144). Here, I get much-reduced size for each artifact. How this much reduction, especially with rootfs?  
a) → 56MB  
b) → 68MB  
c) → 95KB  
d) → 5MB
