I imagine the answer there is most likely:

"We don't know yet, but we'd sure like it." I don't think anyone's bothered with it on the current RC, but I can see a few uses. Given the lack of analog outputs, anyone wanting to output an analog signal is going to need to use an SPI or I2C chip, or will need a very flexible PWM output that they can filter to get an analog signal. So I can see a few uses, though they're likely rare.
