Castellations also enable use in a "burning fixture" like the below. The fixture has bent pins that hold the PCB physically and connect electrically to the PCB's leads.
Would love to see someone design a PLCC or IC Socket that would let you slide one of these in (like those old sockets they had in Macs for optional FPU chips).
