When would you store binaries in your source control?

I store binaries in source control when I want they ability to quickly revert back to the old version of an application. There are number of reason I would do this, those include the following:

• Application testing in an environment that exactly matches production is not always possible.
• The previous programmer may not have used source control or may have used it incorrectly. So it can be difficult to be sure the source code you are changing is the version that matches what the user is working with.
