This is the right strategy. Storage space costs nothing these days. Why not just clone and go? That's what I always say.

Why, you can just 'inherit' some code by copying a block, pasting it, then making a few small changes. No thinking, no problem.

Ok, I'm off to copy of my code folder for the next release.
