Well, there have been several cases of probes being up but not reporting any
data. At least one of those cases was solved by a reboot :)

Of course fixing all the issues that causes such behaviour is the ultimate goal,
but since every piece of code contains at least one bug, i can see some use for
such a feature for those people having their probes not in an easily reachable
location.

Having some form of remote control over one's usb power would also do the trick ;)
