Event Replays, 5* Rank Rewards, and Due Credit

Ever since Doctor Chaotica replaced Arachnia Janeway in the rank rewards table for the very first replayed event, "They Came from the Holodeck! 3", there's been a consistent request among the forum community for the 5* rank reward crew to be left the same during replayed events. They're by design difficult to get in the first place, and adding those other four stars is similarly challenging. I got to looking at the events history and saw that, over the last year, DB has in fact consistently honored that request. Here are the replayed events:
7/28/16 "They Came from the Holodeck! 2" - Doctor Chaotica replaces Arachnia Janeway
9/8/16 "The Trouble with Klingons 2" - 23rd Century Martok replaces 1701 Sisko
10/13/16 "Blood and Circuses 2" - Mirror Spock replaces Mirror Kirk *
11/12/16 "The Game's Afoot 2" - The Professor replaces Detective Data
12/8/16 "A Brute Squad 2" - North Star Tucker replaces Frank Hollander
12/29/16 "Liberty for All 2" - Orion Vina replaces Disguised Kira
2/16/17 "Season of Love 2" - Ambassador Troi replaces Kal-if-fee Kirk
4/6/17 "The Genesis Wave 2" - Klingon Bride Jadzia replaces General Chang
4/27/17 "Quadrilateral 2" - Captain La Forge repeats
6/1/17 "The Second Battle of New York 2" - Aviator Yar replaces RAF Miles O'Brien **
6/29/17 "The Trouble with Klingons 3" - 23rd Century Martok repeats ***
8/3/17 "They Came from the Holodeck! 3" - Arachnia Janeway repeats ****
8/24/17 "Contingency Plan 2" - "Dark Ages" McCoy repeats
9/7/17 "Second Act 2" - Romulan Data replaces Suliban Reed
11/2/17 "Ghost in the Machine 2" - Dr. Soong replaces Rogue Kai Winn *****
11/16/17 "The Akritirian Job 2" - Delta Flyer Paris repeats
1/4/18 "Triple Threat 2" - Pah-wraith Cult Dukat repeats
3/1/18 "War Interrupted 2" - Obsidian Order Garak repeats
We've commented on these events when they've been announced, but I don't think the trend itself has been adequately recognized and praised. So...kudos and thanks, DB!
* In the first run of "Blood and Circuses", Mirror Spock was included in the top rewards along with Mirror Kirk, the only co-Legendary rewards to date. In the replay, Mirror Kirk was dropped and relegated to pack-only.
** Aviator Yar was not in the rewards table for the first run of "The Second Battle of New York", but she was in its Featured Crew and available in event packs.
*** 23rd Century Martok was the first, and so far only, replacement 5* to repeat, appearing in "The Trouble with Klingons 2 & 3".
**** Arachnia Janeway was in the rewards table for "They Came from the Holodeck!", bumped to pack-only for its first replay, then returned to the rewards for its second replay.
***** Dr. Soong was not in the rewards table for the first run of "Ghost in the Machine", but he was in its Featured Crew and available in event packs.
