One is for example that it gives you a throw-away database for remote
automate actions: If you (as a client) connect to a remote server from
which you query data, netsync requires some server identification
chatter, but since you do not actually need a local database, au remote
and au remote_stdio do fallback to :memory: by default and forget the
server key after the connection has been closed.

There might be other use cases for throw-away databases as well, but I
don't remember any thats not of academic nature...
