There is when somebody has discovered that something is broken and
either goes looking for a bug and discovers that there is a package in
-proposed that will potentially fix their problem. Or some people might
just go directly to -proposed to see what's "on deck" that might resolve
their issue.

If you remove the package from -proposed you remove a potential fix in
the form of an easy-to-install package.
