There seem to be two different issues here, namely:

1. Peals on 7 or fewer bells should be at least 5040 changes, whereas
peals on 8 or more bells can be capped at 5000. (As currently.)

2. Graham's definition of truth, "A round block is considered true if
all its rows are distinct, or if longer than one extent, are distinct
if the rows from any complete extents are excluded", being applied to
peals. (Meaning John's proposed 5280 of spliced minor passes muster.)

I wouldn't object to 1 if people are going to get heated about it, but
would strongly advocate an adoption of 2.
