The  case you are suggesting  should be the final  phase of the activities

and  your client  do not want  large scale  SAV/RSTSTG activities
happening to often.<

What I am suggesting is when you think you are done with Y2K modifications.
 You have to do the method I suggest or you will be dead in the water with
many applications.  Most companies are NOT doing a test after the believe
all the changes are finished.  They are doing minor testing of individual
programs and NOT the entire system.  

One has to judge when this is done based upon the particular companies
applications,  how automated the applications are and finally the amount of
system functions which are date related.

My method for some companies could be the very last test or it could be
conducted multiple times depending on the complexity of the applications. 
Of course, the company has to have time to do this and a lot do not.  That
is why IBM is pushing an additional system to do testing on.
