At one level, they're all the same: they take changes from
one and put them on the other end. But the effect is not
the same, and you might choose to allow rotations that
have certain effects to have distinct names, but not allow
them to be separately named in the general case.
For example, you might decide that where a rotation
preserves the path of the primary hunt (as does the rotation
from Grandsire to New Grandsire, or from Arlesey to Helen),
the rotations should be allowed separate names. But you
might decide that in the more general case (e.g. Glasgow
to Glasgow-snap-start) they should not.
It's not an intrisically unreasonable position to hold,
though to me it feels like it is introducing another special
case of the sort the current Decisions are overly full of.
