From Ground Ops 2.5 in an old Qatar 777 FCOM:
During taxi, the momentary use of idle reverse thrust may be needed on slippery surfaces for airplane control. The use of reverse thrust above reverse idle is not recommended due to the possibility of foreign object damage and engine surge.
Consider having the airplane towed rather than relying on the extended use of reverse thrust for airplane control.
Note: If reverse thrust is selected after V speeds have been entered, the V speeds are removed from the airspeed display, and full TO thrust becomes the thrust limit for takeoff.
