Subject: Did anybody ever use halt indicators?

I've never seen them in the wild, and have never heard anyone talk about
them, even old-timers who reminisce about match field indicators and share
war stories about RPG II.

To me, halt indicators seem like a light-weight, bare-bones exception
mechanism.

Were they unpopular because they were TOO bare-bones? What's the story on
halt indicators?
