Speaking as one of the closers of the "RFC", some of the things we were thinking of were a DMCA notice, Legal needing to get something taken down right now or some other OFFICE-type action, removal of an obvious copyright violation, information that needed to be suppressed, or just something that went wrong from the technical end of things and needed fixing right away. Remember this has sort of been put together with baling wire and sealing wax, and we wanted to make sure to leave a door open for unforeseen situations where it was possible to take immediate action if required.
