Paul Hebditch enabling "don't keep activities" would generally mess up the way lots of apps work. An app is composed of one or more "activities" and you can think of an activity as being a specific bit of functionality in the app. So if an app's main activity then loads another activity (to perform a particular bit of functionality) the main activity would be destroyed if you enabled this option. The effect would be that once the second activity does what it needs to do and attempts to take you back to the main activity, it is no longer there and the app would restart. Probably not what you would want and this option should only be used during developer app testing.
