I really do not know. I agree that this could be interesting for, say, really big files cache re-validation, without all the transfer from the backend to Varnish, and even worth if we are talking about using Varnish for CDN architectures (for better geolocation when delivering, with distant backends, in many cases over continents). Needless to say, this could be valid and very useful.
