I regularly use "set for current session" to test changes that affect
the way things work, but revert to my saved settings a while later.
Being able to experiment with several customizations at once, without
fearing that I will ruin my ~/.emacs file is, in my opinion, something
that for me works as a motivation to experiment with new customizations.

I'd be sad to see this go away, but this is perhaps just me.
