I guess that under some circumstances people would want to have a node try to commit suicide in case of quorum lost. Perhaps the user doesn't want to trust the node's ability to stop resources, in which case this could serve as a quick "all resources stop". Right now, can't think of any other reason. However, that's no substitute for fencing. Note that there are other situations where fencing is necessary.
