So you download Lion from AppStore, which takes a while with a slow link.
You remember to make a copy before the system deletes this large download.
You make a bootable disk/USB for future use, in case you have to reinstall.
The installation process creates a Recovery partition in case you have to reinstall.
However, when you do try to reinstall, despite having a copy of Lion on Disk/USB/Recovery partition, the system downloads the whole thing from Apple again.
Leaving out the profanity, this seems less than ideal
