The first (obvious) one is: in a solution with lots of projects, assemblies with only a handful (say, 3-4) classes in them (an assembly with only interfaces may be an exception to this).
Another: If an assembly somewhere in the middle layer of your project has to import a ton of other assemblies in order to do its job.
