Why Unique Key Constraint?

I am new to partitioning and I was just going through the MySQL reference manual. It states that if a table has a UNIQUE key, the column used for partitioning must be part of that key. Now from the performance point of view, I can imagine why it could benefit MySQL for internal hashing but why has this been made mandatory?

Thanks
