Now before I begin, this isn't my theory, it's something I read on the RT forums and I thought I'd share it here.

Anyway, it involves the Aura Transfer machine under Beacon, along what Ruby said about Ozpin and Qrow ie "The more I'm around Professor Ozpin, the more he reminds me of Uncle Qrow." Now consider what Ozpin said in "Unforseen Consequences," how his soul transfers into like-minded individuals. If Qrow has a similar mindset to Ozpin, perhaps he was being groomed into becoming the new Ozpin, should anything befall the headmaster. And with the machine under Beacon, they could do just that. So Ozpin may have had a use for Ironwood's device beyond the Maidens. Now I know Ozpin went into Oscar instead, though if the machine is still intact, and as long as Qrow lives, his new vessel can still be utilized at a later date if Oscar is lost. Something like this anyway.
