I don't know about Europe specifically, but I am getting increasing
questions about that sort of thing, and I think some of it may be coming
from government. I remember one customer recently asking about whether they
could adopt a six months site 1/six months site 2/loop-repeat production
strategy. It was similar thinking, that if they were always flipping back
and forth every six months anyway that DR would be just another perfectly
ordinary flip.

The basic answer to that question was yes, they could, although a somewhat
long discussion followed to try to understand why they wanted to. And there
are probably better and worse ways to do it, depending on the
circumstances.
