20015G25KT - what do you do?

Whenever I see GxxKT in a TAF, I don't fly, irrespective of the other conditions. Recently there's been quite a bit of GxxKT in the TAFs (with some clear blue skies) but I've noticed that people are still flying.

Am I being unnecessarily strict on this? Does the GxxKT indication suggest that the gusts are 'continuous', or sufficiently infrequent that you could make a safe landing after a few Go-Rounds or is it entirely up to your own judgement of the other prevailing conditions?

Or what?
