Well, it's not something I'm going to spend any time worrying about as I can't see it happening in my lifetime.
I'm not sure how it works in Oz but, here, the states have the power to decide for themselves. I imagine they would balkanize before this happens.

thanks to KA Adams and the Captain for your comments - as soon as I saw the stance I thought 'this is a weird thing' but I guess it makes sense in special cases and situations, however the average civilian doesn't need to adopt it!
Andy is looking for another free lunch tomorrow--the Put This On guy is going and may provide an objective report:

A fascinating post by Cuffers confirms that almost all the Andyites enjoy a robust connection to Harvard University. Harvard is widely known as the Alden of higher education, so this is pretty impressive.
Is anything more important to an iGent than the recrafting of his beloved Edward Greens? The moment when the package arrives from the UK, the unwrapping, the new box placed on a pedestal for photographs, the shoes themselves in their new bags, and finally...well really, what iGent wouldn't be rolling around on the floor in a state of perpetual orgasmic delirium at the sight of the finished product---Even Though the Original Tools With Which the Shoes Were Made Have Been Lost!---and delighted to share the results with us?
