Comment 6 for bug 2061227

Numble Numble... (the sound of my mind...)

So you suggest to create at least two account for (e.g.) banks?

Bank_1_on_the_rocks (open)
and
Bank_1_old_but_good (to be close ASAP)

and

Bank_2_on_the_rocks_again
and
Bank_2_old_but_good_as_the_other

and move all the damn 2017 (and before) to the "oldies"?
and after the moving, close them?

it's a way.
it's a _not_so_elegant_ way,
but it's a way
