No, they are for different use cases. cuImages are interesting when
you cannot upgrade uboot to add device tree support and you want to
use a new kernel - uImage.% is interesting when you want to use device
trees but you want the simplicity of having a single file (And you
acknowledge the fact that the device tree as it is today is pretty much
kernel version dependent so it makes most sense to keep them in sync).
