[AM] Why Traceability?

Hi, all.

There has been a thread over several agile forums in the
last 10 days or so about Traceability.

There seemed to be some consensus reached that 
traceability is a solution to a problem, one that may no
longer hold true (as in no longer the best solution) in an 
agile environment.

However, a topic that never seemed to reach consensus,
or even be given a satisfactory answer, IMHO, was the
question of what problem or problems traceability was
trying to solve.

Given the apparent number of greybeards on this forum,
(younger folk can also respond, please?) can anyone
give an opinion as to why traceability is wanted - what does
it give us?
