[Vtigercrm-developers] Why include a SQL file when we don't use it?

what is the difference between embedding sql query in an xml file, add an 
install.php to call this xml file rather call an sql file.

from my point of view the same. This isn't a technical problem but a 
philosophy question.

introducing this sql seems to not be pleased. Maybe a poll on it can be asked.
anyway i use and will use the sql file for debian and ubuntu packaging.
just need to know if you (developers) wants it in source code or not.
