+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

+We could add a "target close" operation that moves all open bugs
+assigned to one target to the next date-due target.
+
+I see problems with these ideas in general, because we're assuming

+Maybe it's okay to demand that social conventions be used to handle

+Hello
+
+Just a question and only for curiosity: there is an easy way to determine the 
+target succession ?
+
+For example, let's assume we have target a, b, c
+There is a way to know that  "a" is a past target, "b" is the current target 
+and "c" is a future target ? More: there is a way to know if a target is 
+closed or open ?
