If is never to be used, why carry it?
Surly this day and age with accurate winds, accurate performance data and well coordinated ATC, it could be done with.
Then a Mayday would be appropriate.

I got busted by an ATC gentleman for only having a margin of 1 minute, when I had 45min plus 60 holding and 15%.
