[GNC] End of Year?

[Stan Brown (using GC 4.14)]

With older versions of GC, it used to take a long time to open a file.
With 4.14, and I presume with 5.x, it's almost instantaneous.

So why is there any discussion of saving previous-year data? It seems
reasonable to me to archive a file as of 12-31-20XX, because you can't
have too many archives. But after archiving that snapshot, what's the
problem with just continuing to use the original of the file that copied
into the archive? That's what I've been doing since 2018, and it seems
to work just fine.
