No. That "golden" copy is what we call "default  environment"  -  you
get  this  when you lose your environment (with redundand environment
it means that you lose both copies).

That's not how redundance is defined. You are looking  for  a  backup
copy, which is provided by the default environment.

Note that updating the default environment is not trivial, as this is
compile-time defined.
