I think the biggest point of confusion, for me, other than it changing
without me being aware of it, is this concept of a primary income
bucket for the cash flow start date.  The paragraph above the bucket
selection dropdown implies that the setting of a starting cash flow
amount for an income bucket is optional, which makes me think that
that bucket selection in that window has no effect at all,
particularly since the amount is empty/$0, since I didn't make use of
that supposedly optional feature.

If I'm not using that feature, why would the start date be affected by
the merge?
