Float Constraints

I understand where constraining the free float to zero (aka ALAP scheduling in most software that offer it) can be useful in planning some scenarios. However, I have never encountered a situation where constraining the total float to zero (forcing it to be critical) would be desired. Does anyone use this in practice? Can you provide an example where this is a useful construct?

What if a software allowed you to specify a "no greater than" total float constraint? Would that be useful?
