    	How long do you have to wait before you recycle?  What if 
    recycling still isn't enough to solve the collision problem for a 
    given set of initial characters?
    
I've been told that there has been some discussions with the 3166-1
maintenance agency about this when the CS label got recycled. The
agency is aware of the problems this might cause and has promised
to adapt its policy. Basically, when recycling, wait years to reuse
the old code.
