Combos of sharp and smooth edges let us create all sorts of shapes, like if you leave the top and bottom edges sharp, but the side ones smooth you get a roughly cylindrical shape... Or you can do a block with a hole in it if you do the same thing to the edges around a square hole...

The redundant internal geometry has been automatically cleaned up...Next stop, subdivision...

Well the point is:i) if I have an algorithm building procedural levels and it is pasting a load (let's for the moment say cubes) together, it is easy to delete the hidden faces where they touch (and merge edges/verts and delete any orphaned ones), and...ii) this is the data I need to apply a subdivision surface algorithm, which will enable me to tag verts and edges to be smooth or sharp, giving me (near) spheres, cylinders, cylinders with right-angle bends and so on...
