+Nice. But instead of moving all bugs to the next date-due target, I'd prefer 
+to leave the choice to the user

+I don't see these as problems per se. We can have two cases:
+
+1) a personal branch (like my html output or Trevor's email interface). In 
+this case there is not any problem to decide the due date
+
+2) a branch with a group of delopers (let it be the canonical branch o an 
+experimental branch): in this case I suppose that working together means to be 
+able to agree on some things
+
+In any case, having the possibility to set a due date does not means that it 
+is obligatory to do it and should be a good idea to offer as many possibilities 
+as we can to the users of BE
