This was discussed in the Discord server and is on hold because of user experience reasons, so apparently no reason to have it open.

But please do not close yet. I have an idea for making this acceptable.

With this change today decks are presented with a (one) position rotation from the position they were in December.

Formula is ($CURRENT_YEAR * 12 + $CURRENT_MONTH) % $ROTATIONS_CT.

In December there was no rotation because of (2017 * 12 + 12) % 8 equals 0.

Today (2018 * 12 + 1) % 8 equals 1.

No one can complain of AEther and Entropia to be favored over Gaea and Materia.
