In the USA it's being done, but not for sole purpose of refactoring/simplification. started as 2:1 https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/01/trumps-regulation-eo/515007/ https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/01/trumps-... 6 months in, it was actually more like 16:1 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-kills-16-regulations-for-every-new-one-crushing-2-for-1-goal https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-kills-16-regulation... I think I heard recently it's more like 24:1.
