Adding gates for crews on final is one thing but ATC should in the first lieu apply some fundamentals. I'm really appalled to see that professional ATCs are still pushing aircraft to intercept ILS from above. ATC's mission is to facilitate traffic in safety and too many death have already demonstrated the risks of such interceptions, especially in IMC.

The most surprising thing in such circumstances is that some ATCs do not understand why some crews are refusing to perform such interceptions. Really amazing.
