I'm not the one who wants to do this, but I'll reply anyway since I
assume the 'why' question was aimed at the OP.

The time it came up with one of my clients was because they wanted to
instant arm the system if they saw suspicious activity on their
property and wanted to protect themselves from a 'kick in' situation.
I wanted to supply a resolution, but could not.  Worse, now with CP-01
the system defaults to stay arming when no exit is tripped even though
the user designates instant arming and you have to make sure that
'feature' is turned off for some customers.
