The reason for doing this particular cleanup is that if you do a lot of builds the /out directory would become very full making it a little hard to find things. Now the important files are all collected into a version-tagged directory and both the casual builder and someone doing a release can easily find the set of interesting files.

Another reason, is that my first implementation of the out/release directory was intended to get overwritten on every build, but I found that to be inconvenient because it can be helpful to look at a previous changes.txt file (at least for people doing official releases).
