Knowing what the state of a particular formula (or any of the Homebrew machinery, really) when a brew was installed could potentially be useful for debugging, e.g. if a library was built with or without certain functionality, etc.

It may also be useful if we ever decide we want a way to prompt upgrades for reasons other than version bumps, without carrying around another DSL field.
