Sybunt/lybunt sample report instance has year filter saved as 2011
2011 wasn't a bad year, but the instance probably doesn't need any year saved.
The report code itself is fine, and creating a new report from template defaults to current year.
I believe this is coming from xml/templates/civicrm_navigation.tpl: s:6:"yid_op";s:2:"eq";s:9:"yid_value";s:4:"2011";
