Just from a quick read and from what I've previously heard NO, if they do that then for 3 man flights:--
1/ more rest in Europe will be required. Ref 7.1.21.3D
2/all 3 Pilots need a P1 rating. Ref 7.1.7.2
Regarding W patterns:--
after a ULRO duty cycle not less than 4 DDO's MUST be taken, therefore no W's Ref 7.1.22.6
So not likely to change for most of Europe except maybe FRA?
W's....gone
