I like to mention my use case when this comes up: my log file viewer (https://lnav.org) uploads an agent to remote hosts in order to tail log files on that host[1]. While lnav itself is not built using cosmo, the agent is. So, it works on multiple OSs without having to compile and include multiple versions of the agent.
