Comment (by mor10):

 Use case: Page Indexes

 As drop-down menus are becoming a non-solution due to touch screens and
 smaller devices, complex page navigation has to be solved in other ways.
 One common solution is to create page indexes where a top-level page
 (About) leads to the main page followed by links (typically with featured
 images and an excerpt) to sub-pages. This is not a new design choice, but
 it is becoming more prevalent, and with Page Excerpts it would be a lot
 easier.

 The same functionality could be used to display related pages or page
 previews in widgetized areas etc.
