Un use case could be in the %post section, if you want to run a
postinstall of a (bad) commercial package and you want to put in a
shell a sigalarm (something like this) for not to wait forever if
something go wrong. I have done this in the past IIRC. But it is only
an example, for probably a rare use case.
