Okay. I've always viewed them as just a way to not have to specify the other half of a mapped relationship. The fact that new ones were being created for relationships I never intended on using was news to me

It's sort of all of the above:

1. For DbRelationships (which themselves are really an artificial construct, not exposed in the code in 99.9% of cases) it is a convenience shortcut.

2. For ObjRelationships it is a way to allow users to choose the object model that makes sense to them, instead of forcing mandatory bi- directional relationships.
