Views lets you use this field for whatever evil you like. With a little theming it can be used as a header on taxonomy pages. Or put into a block using something like sidecontent.

Also taxonomy context use it.

Taxonomy Context uses the description like a node body for the taxonomy and outputs the result below the term title when browsing a term (and does the same for vocabulary description). In edit view the description is assigned an input filter, and the description is filtered before being displayed. This use may conflict with what other modules are using the description for.

Sounds like this should just be the default implementation in core. The "can be used by modules" bit seems like a hangover from pre-fapi days. Cheers, -K
