What are the (non-developers) use cases for --upload-tools

[Tim Penhey]

Hi folks,

In the first of my Friday morning emails, I'm trying to understand the
use cases for --upload-tools.

I've had it mentioned that --upload-tools is primarily used by
developers, while developing.

Are there use-cases for --upload-tools for non-developers?  If so, what
are they?

This leads me to another question:
  If --upload-tools is only for developers, should we remove the option
from the packaged version?   And if so, how?
