I've used this for test code where the idea was to demonstrate that
the abortable_part didn't get blocked like it used to.

Also, in deliverable code -- the abortable_part was waiting for a PO
to be triggered by an interrupt (or not).

Personally I've found no need to worry about problems with Get_Line in
the abortable_part.
