Here's EH's statement about Mike Pitt's proposals in 2002 http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/archaeology2/message/9309?threaded=1&var=1&p=1

Last I heard was Mike saying in 2009 it was still "on the drawing board".

For me, one maybe but a whole load of them no. As a compromise, one every 2 generations maybe, in step with improving technology. It's like saying lets open EKLB, we could only do that once and we'd be sure to destroy evidence that the future might have found. You wouldn't want that on your CV would you - posterity might dub you Stonekiller Roy!

(On the other hand, hurrah for Keiller who destoyed evidence but gave everyone huge pleasure)
