What are some reasons to connect capacitors in series?

Combining capacitors in series reduces the total capacitance, and isn''t very common, but what are some possible uses for it? It shouldn''t be used to increase the voltage rating, for instance, since you can''t guarantee that the middle will be at half the DC voltage of the total, without using bleeder resistors.
