I believe this is fairly common when third party consultants/vendors need access to a network. I've had customers open holes in their firewalls so I could connect to their routers on more than a few occassions in my consulting days.

I can't say how often this is done because it's easy vs because it's the only way to do it. In my case, submitting a public SSH key would also have been adequate in most cases.
