figured nobody would want to try a landing with any more :-)

I believe that at air carrier airports (and, from personal experience, at
BOS) ATC may continue using a runway with up to a ten knot tailwind.

My first tailwind landing ever was done out of an ILS at BOS with about a
ten knot quartering tailwind. But they have long runways (and I needed to
be at the far end anyway to get to the GA ramp).
