I don't need it. But in our network most people use windows - and don't know anything about computers. So they get their static ip assigned by dhcp. Once in a while the server chokes - and that is one of the many reasons why I usually don't use dhcp. There are a lot better ones, but if you really need to know the details, ask off-list ;)
