Boarding Airbus at gate via rear stairs in HEL?

I just boarded an A321 to FRA at HEL gate 20. Rows beyond 18 are being asked to walk across the wet tarmac and board via the rear door. I haven't seen this before.

The cabin attendant said this a new policy at certain gates to speed up boarding.

Does anyone know how long this has been going on and which gates might be affected?
