2016-01-01: Andi and Don expire, 2 replacements
2017-01-01: Keith is the oldest member with 3.09y, nobody expires
2018-01-01: Keith is the oldest member with 4.09y, nobody expires
2019-01-01: Keith membership expires, none of the other does
2020-01-01: we have 5 members over the 4.5y limit, two expire
2021-01-01: we have 3+2=5 members over the 4.5y limit, two expire

2016-01-01: Bdale and Steve expire, 2 replacements
2017-01-01: Andi and Don expire, 2 replacements
2018-01-01: Keith is the oldest member with 4.09y, nobody expires
2019-01-01: Keith membership expires, none of the other does
2020-01-01: we have 3 members over the 4.5y limit, two expire
2021-01-01: we have 1+2=3 members over the 4.5y limit, two expire
I think that the "2-R" behaviour is more desirable, as it avoids 2 years
without replacements in 2017 and 2018. Note that this isn't about the
"2-R" rule as we could have the same behaviour by keeping the "2" rule
and simply dropping the transitional measure (and passing the GR after
2015-01-01, or having a transitional measure that annihilates the
expiring on 2015-01-01)
