Well, just for history reasons. We discussed it on irc and came to the
following:

1) Masks have a selection showing where to apply filter to.
2) They can't have a child, so they can't have a transparency mask to
replace selections.
3) Adj. layers should work like adj. masks, so they should have a selection.

It creates a bit of redundancy: selection / transparency masks are
interchangeable.
Unixway. =)
