It has many useful uses. Please see for example for a chronological
classification of data, which is not possible with a category:

You have seriously misunderstood my request. I am sorry that I was not
more clear.
I think galleries are useful. I do not think they should be deleted.
Instead, I think we should make a new namespace called "gallery" and
move all the galleries there.
Well I understand, but I am not sure what is the benefit expected here
with the deletion of many pages from main namespace, and I don't see how
it will be achieved.
I think that doing this will prevent confusion.
After we have done that there should be nothing left in the main ns
except tests and garbage which we can delete.
Also other namespaces have also a bad
referencement.
Can you explain this for me? I do not understand.
Commons is generally very badly referenced.
I think this is mainly because of the category system (maybe developers
could give more hints here). For "Mohandas Gandhi" in Google Images, you
won't find any images directly from Commons. That's very surprising
seeing that Commons is now the biggest source of free (as in beer)
images of Gandhi.

Yann
