I would argue it's also useful for new team members in general, or for teams that have in the past been unorganized. At my current job I've spent a lot of time refactoring code so that there's some more unity among everything, because everybody does their own thing and doesn't really collaborate, which makes maintenance a pain in the ass. Something like this that kind of forces people to work together and create some kind of unified style could be very beneficial.

Not to mention when I've seen experience developers show something they've been working on for the past two weeks, only to be told what they've shown is a disaster because they never had any other eyes on it to question their design decisions.
