In reality so far, the only known application was to lock the common.js at de.wikipedia, to prevent some crazy admin(s) from breaking the wiki.
Which incidentally shows that "will not break the wiki" really IS the minimal admin criterion, and is not trivial at all }:-)

No one "broke the wiki" by disabling unwanted functions following a clear consensus. True breaking changes to those pages would be reverted by other admins before you could blink.
