A 20% boost in thrust when you really need it would seem to be of more interest than the theoretical possibility of a harried line pilot somehow managing to fly within 0.1 degree of the stall in an emergency.
This opens the argument further to other types, specifically fighters such as the F-16 which have a +9G limit. Very good, stops the pilot over stressing the aeroplane, but:

What happens if it 'only' needs +9.1G to stop it hitting the ground?
