I think that policies on retaining blocks need to be reviewed on high. I think we'll see an increase in demand for blocks 10 to 20 years old. The issue is non-trivial, since blocks are bulky and require temperature-controlled storage space. There's also the problem of what will happen to blocks when laboratories close.
