Which is the case already: You do need them at a later point!
Flash messages are added in one request and then displayed in the next 
request. Thus you have to transfer them over from one request to the 
other. As they aren't needed after that anymore it doesn't make sense to 
keep them around any longer, the sessions (as many, if not all, other 
implementations have found) is a perfect fit for that purpose.

So to sum this up again: The implementation is perfectly right the way 
it is. Don't try to bend your brain in a way that you shouldn't. ;)

might make sense, but I'm not fully convinced yet. I'll think about it.
