I think even if it is not a deadline, just personal scheduled stuff (no
"external force") , there are cases where you just want to do things
periodically at a certain date/time, so we should keep the old behavior.
We don't have to choose between these two (jumping from current date and
jumping from the scheduled date). We can just add a new feature.
