I thought this would be problematic. In the one instance we implemented it,
no issues.  They had the "night mode" feature on their Comdial system before
sipXecs.
Departmentally there can be one phone per department to do this. If the
phone loses power, that would be a problem. With a Polycom phone we tested
it and IT REMEMBERS the forward function at reboot, so the setting is not
lost, but the system is on POE with a UPS on it anyway. I thought it was
wicked cool it could keep the setting, but I haven't tried it with a config
change and remembering it. It's always a good idea to put this phone in its
own group, that way you avoid touching it except when needed, doing
maintenance after hours is fine, but screwing up call forwards is not cool.
