Doing that several times in an hour, re-making the simlink manually can be tedious. So it just takes some of the drudgery out of manually performing this every time. And you know that when you boot the kernel source is in a sane state even if you forgot that you had booted back into your stable kernel and for example there is a new nvidia version available.
