One, albeit rather unimportant, use is to help people with whom
you would like to regularly communicate access and check your
key a bit more easily, especially for people with multiple keys.
Given the fingerprint (often in the e-mail signature), the GPG
key can be downloaded and immediately tested against the GPG
signature. Granted, very little utility, but still greater than
zero 8-).
