Hey,

the age groups were simply what felt sensible to me. That said, it
seems sane to me to have something that lies outside normal retirement
ages.

We only had 2 people selecting ">= 50" last year, so adding it is
mostly for completeness sake.

Asking for the exact age just didn't seem to add anything and I
strongly believe that one should never collect data if one doesn't have
any immediate use for it.
