So that's not really a new preference, but it completely muddles the purpose
of an existing one.

Also, I think you might just need some user retraining here - Kronolith is
designed to overlay multiple calendars; selecting one consultant's calendar
and deselecting the previous one is likely as many/more extra clicks than
picking the right calendar in the New Event screen.

This I could see changing.

I don't know if that rule is intuitive to users, though, and if it's not
intuitive, it's going to seem _very_ random.
