He means to unpack and repack, as the title suggests. Prior to lollipop, if you wanted to remove files from ROM you would just open the zip, and there would be structure just like in your phone system folder. You could easily add or remove apks and other files. That changed since lollipop, and system comes in one packaged file. So, if you want to add or remove programs or files to and from the ROM, you first need to unpack .dat file, make the changes, and then repack.

Yeah, but someone might want to remove certain packages, or to add some of his own, for personal use. I personally don't use this, but I'm sure it's useful to someone :)
