Hi everybody my point _should_ have been:

If you want to manually close the year, weigh the costs and benefits for 
yourself.
It is not worth it for me, but it may be worth it for others.

I would like to see a non manual method for closing the year in gnucash, 
but unfortunately I don't have the programming skills to do it.
