There's at least one other case, which is "Whoops, that should be in
xml5, let me transfer it and throw away the xml7 branch, which is (or
can be considered) the only copy of it in existence".  Not everybody's
branches must be considered to have propogated uncontrollably in the
wild, and it's nice to be able to back down when you can know it's
safe.
