sybunt/lybunt default for "this year" is 2012
As much as we all want to forget the last few years happened, defaulting back to 2012 might be too far.
Note that in sample data it used to be hardcoded in a saved instance as 2011 but now that the 10 year window in the dropdown has passed that's now effectively ignored, so can close #1091 (closed)
But in regular installs it's a bit silly.
The problem though is the 'default' parameter doesn't seem to get used. It's correctly set to date('Y'). I dunno why it doesn't work yet.
