This is one reason why I think there should be a cap on the total volume of legislation (measured in pages). If you want to pass a new law, you need to repeal an old, obsolete one.

Nobody should be subject to a corpus of rules too volumous for them to read and understand.

It's absolutely unforgivable that legislators don't even read the laws they pass.

A version of this system was apparently implemented in Iceland - under the traditional law, once a year a designated person had to recite the entire law, and whatever he forgot to include was no longer the law.
