I think the use case is stuff like this:

(defun gnus-agent-toggle-group-plugged (group)
  "Toggle the status of the server of the current group."
  (interactive (list (gnus-group-group-name)))
  (let* ((method (gnus-find-method-for-group group))
	 (status (cadr (assoc method gnus-opened-servers))))
    (if (eq status 'offline)
	(gnus-server-set-status method 'closed)
      (gnus-close-server method)
      (gnus-server-set-status method 'offline))

Where we close the server (i.e., the backends close the network
connections), but don't set the status to 'closed, because it's still
open on the Gnus side.
