If your FR cross several hops, that's in control of service provider and may be you never know, you will need this to know what really the state of PVC. Some backup strategies like backup interface, are based on the state of interface to determine path selection. Routing may have their mechanism like hello or rupdate timer, but layer 2 state will help router to determine problem more quickly in some case. May be you will not need that in lab environment because your local interface always reflect actual state of PVC.
