I agree with many here that this is heavy-handed, but my experience suggests that the symptom it's treating is very real- once a recurring meeting is created it never really goes away (in my experience sometimes it does if the meeting owner leaves the company or moves to a different job function). So I like the idea of throwing all meetings into the "konmari" method of tidying, where you completely empty your closets and then decide what should be kept, rather than trying to pick out which things should be discarded.
