Very simply. There are some mobs now - on rather long timers, FC's could use a single mule in each relevant area, so they'd be able to know if the boss spawned in the FC's downtime. Which would mean - that knowing if the spawn was down, the mob could be ignored for a period of time.

Given there's only a few (zones - two bosses currently) that are important at the moment, this usage is somewhat limited at the moment, but given SE's propensity for bosses of this modus operandi, I expect to see more and more important ones in the forseeable future.
