The next thing the Feds need to make verboten is folks who
fire up and broadcast over CTAF that they're going to taxi
from their parking spot over to the active runway (what possible
purpose could that information / transmission serve?).

At some airports failing to call up before taxiing out of parking
results in two airplane facing nose to nose with engines running and
one having to shut down and push back. Not all airports have good
visibility and wide taxiways. Its happened at my home field quiet
often. Pilots have to coordinate the use of the taxiway before pulling
out around a blind hill.

Granted (makes sense). FWIW, the only places I've heard it done are
huge, ex-WW2 air bases.....
