Well, first off, history shows that many accounting systems permit such, and some
even do so automatically.
Secondly, it more closely respects the independence of fiscal years where currently
internal numbering of journal entries does not.
Finally, organisations have their internal procedures for verification/validation.
Example: journal 'OD' is a general journal for miscellaneous operations working on
finishing up 2017 while 2018 is rolling right along, the mixed numbering and/or holes may
make certain actors uneasy (namely the direction, public accountants and auditors).
Naturally, an organisation often frowns/balks on limitations migrating to a new system
in absence of very good and motivated reasoning.
Interestingly, article III.C.4 Avis CNC 174-1 - Les principes d'une comptabilité régulière
found in the site of the Belgian CNC
http://www.cnc-cbn.be/files/advice/link/FR_174-01.htm
is quite similar to usages in France:
> Dans chaque journal, les écritures doivent être identifiées par un numéro séquentiel

Which quickly translated says that 'In each journal, the entries must be identified by a
sequential number forming a continuous series, either by accounting period or by fiscal year.'
