Well think about a mud without reboot at all. With dgd's possibility to
start from a state-dump and thus keep all objects cloned at shut-down,
it is almost mandatory to have such a feature.

If you think such a mud is not desirable because of the "diku-trap".
(entropy of objects caused by creating new objects via "reset" and not
deleting them) Remember that the g in dgd means generic not game.
You could e.g. use dgd as an object oriented database. (and dgd makes a 
good database)

But i guess there will be more situations where this feature will at 
least become handy in everyday applications.
