Doesn't seem too appealing.Maybe people could have the option of changing their "official" year if they wanted to be in the same class as others? Don't schools do that? But probably it would need to go only from an earlier year to a later year.
> Also, seems like the groups on the 'class of xxx' boards might be pretty small, considering that we are talking about (I would guess) a tiny subset of all registrants in year xxx.
Maybe. But maybe small is good. And you never know...

> I think we should just make a decision and do it. It's always (in my experience) easier to think of potential problems than benefits, and stringing it out has only led to repetition of previously voiced concerns.
I'd consider the decision made, but like I said, it's going to take me some time to set it up...
> I think the split from PB-only to PB and PSB took less time than this, and was a much more drastic step.
But it was less involved in technical and procedural ways, since it was an open board -- and also this is a busy time for me...
