Sure there is!

As stated in the bug, some of us work in sensitive environments and don't want the N800 scanning wireless networks all day from within our pockets. And if you were to configure the N800 to use a network away from home the N800 is at liberty to reconnect automatically which is not what you may want it to do (so you have to delete the network to stop the N800 from connecting).

So yes, being able to lock the device quickly AND disable all wireless connectivity IS required. By some of us at least!
