Well, I can. Here is a couple:

 * After upgrading libaries (if you're on debian unstable, that is a weekly 
occurance)
 * After running some external script or tool
 * After the parser getting it's internals corrupted (again) so that it will 
actually find all uses.

Of course, this could be automated, but until it is a "reparse everything" is 
a very good idea. It is also a confidence thing: Once we get no reports that 
reparsing everything fixed something, we know we are catching all cases.

How to reparse everything is also, btw, a quite common question I get.
