I don't think every significant change to the ruleset deserves a new
Era. I'd rather we cleaned up the definitions to note that the late
5th era allegedly copied the 4th, that Wooble's reign didn't start
immediately in the B/Agora hybrid period, and that we're now about to
be reviving a *different* old ruleset, which still fits the revival
theme of late 6E as currently defined. But it's not a big deal.

Eh, we voted to go back to something random. I at least voted to do so
because I wanted to see how that would go. Let's clarify that we
actually return to the thing we think we returned to, by which I mean
the nweek-100 rules, and amend those if we want to. (Once this
emergency gets underway, I'm submitting precisely that.)
