Yes, that is the way it has always been in the US. Visibility for 121 or 135 operations, no ceiling requirement. At DH or MDA if you don't see the runway go around. I have done it dozens of times in 23,000 hrs.
Not always for us OFs. I started in the 121 business in January, 1964. Ceiling was required in the U.S. until TERPs concepts came into being in November, 1967.
