Yes, it is still needed. Without this, package is larger about 60MB (not a problem), but package generated on Fedora 21 (or newer) fails to install in Fedora 20-based dom0 because of missing rpm functionality:
ERROR You need to update rpm to handle:

Currently template rpm package contains root.img packed in additional tar, then split to 1GB parts. This was needed a long time ago, because rpm had problems with large sparse files.
Verify if that's still needed. If not, removing it would speed up both template build and template installation.
