ANY report you re-run from scratch will start with the current set of
accounts.
Changing the list of accounts on a Saved Report, however, could have
negative consequences, especially if the user explicitly set the set of
accounts. Imagine if you explicitly wanted a Cash Flow report with all
but one Asset account, saved it, and then when you re-ran the report that
account got added in! That would change the report results.
Arguably there *could* be a flag for "using the default" which would cause
the saved report to use the current default (which may be different than
the default at the time the report was saved). I'm not sure how we would
encode that, and it certainly would not be a backwards-compatible change.
