Yes, if it's presented with the tessellation improvements in mind it makes sense. The way he was talking about it in the webinar made it sound like creases were a new concept that allowed him to have the same result as packing up your edges to visually crease your geometry, making it much less of a pain each time the director asked to modify the model.
