In General, Intake is the place where you beat things into submission before merging them with the Main Library.

Basic Reason: When you 'delete' or 'Change' in a DB, those entries don't always go away...Just marked inactive. Over time, the DB grows bulky (Library Maintenance does a Vacuuming step to housekeep)
How do you know what the series name should be if the series is in a separate library? Do you just remember?

I've found that to be the greatest obstacle to having a separate intake library. I can't look up what the author/series name should be when that author/series in not in the same physical library.
