Isn't it used for distinguishing packages installed automatically as
dependencies from packages installed explicitly by the user? This
affects M-x package-autoremove.

And if my opinion counts, I like having the variable in my .emacs,
possibly under revision control. On a fresh machine, I can then simply
type M-x package-install-selected-packages to install all the packages
from the variable, and M-x package-autoremove to uninstall all packeges
not in listed the variable.
