I just thought that having aircraft land from the opposing sides of a single physical runway is not the most favourite ATC sport. On a busy airport, such are those where CATIII is justifiably installed.

Consequently once LVO is up and running for one side (the only equipped one), a pilot's request to shoot an approach against all the flow is expectedly answered with a polite suggestion to reconsider the idea.

Not to mention that even if approved and done, after vacation the aircraft might end up in a part of taxiway system that is not properly marked, equipped or approved for LVP OPS while they'd be in force. Lessons from Linate not to be forgotten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linate_Airport_disaster.
