It's a common way to "solve" things. I live in the Netherlands. Ten or fifteen years ago we tried to cut education costs by merging schools into large school clusters. Small schools were too expensive. Now they go back and say that the large schools are too impersonal. In ten or twenty years they will go back to large schools. You can bet on this.

Is it good or bad? It means that things are changing, and they are not going back to the same situation as ten years ago. It is a matter of evolving. There are new insights, new technologies, new people.
