Why?

Get them all the time. If SOP says no (wet runway, anti skid channel inop, etc) or the hair standing on the back of my neck stands up I say unable. Otherwise I do it and it increases capacity. Last was in to ORD, cleared to land to hold short of a taxiway some 9000 feet down.

As with anything it has to employed wisely.
