Actually, you might. Consider my use case. I would rip an anime and re-encode for both my stand alone and PS3 (ends up at about 2gigs, usually a bit less). Now I also have a PSP, and I found it to be much faster (in terms of encoding time) to re-encode that 2gig rip, than getting the source out again (which is usually blu-ray, so no mean feat to have a lot of those at a time on hdd).

In this case ~crf13 was perfect for me, producing about 150mb of video. Now obviously it is higher now, but my point is that you do have legit uses for low crf (in older builds).
