At the Commons we occasionally get irate requests to delete certain images because they've been used in vandalism attacks. We are somewhat hesitant to delete them, assuming they're licensed correctly, for the likely backlash of "censorship!". So once we found out about the existence of this, we have been advising wikis to use the Bad image list. But we still delete some images when they seem particularly superfluous and particularly confronting.
Good point.
Of course, projects that _really_ don't want to see a particular Commons image anywhere on their pages could always upload a red X on top of it locally and protect that.
