No-one's suggesting this Don.

What I am trying to say is that the decision to adopt 5000 and above for
Major, and stick with 5040 for Triples and below, has an elegance and a
rightness to it. Bringing everything down to 5000 is just too reductionist,
and would lose our beloved factorial, rightly respected through the ages.

Does no-one other than me see the beauty of this two-length system?
