Won't happen with computers either, for the most part. Everyone is in a big rush now-days. Nobody has the patience for 40/2, let alone 2 games of it. Even one game per opponent at G/90 is hard to arrange. To have a tournament take twice as long is more than most people can stomach. If I had my "druthers" I would have a round-robin format with everyone playing each opponent as white/black. As you can well imagine, I'll never have my "druthers." ;-)
