I wonder why they added that recently?

Guess you can't blame them for trying.
The only thing I can think of is obstacle clearance off construction from the new international terminal. I haven't been to ATL in about 2 weeks, so I don't know if there is a new crane or something up. There was a NOTAM I saw in Feb. when I was there for "No landings on 27R except for emergency" which made me think of the M incident.
If this was right after the taxiway M landing, I could see a correlation to that.
