Hi Jarmo!

Sorry, no idea but interested as well.

When I switched to Org-mode I was disappointed on the limited ways
to do recurring events (without sexp): every 2nd Tuesday of a month,
single exceptions, ... not possible.

However, when I was told about org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift
this changed :-) 

Now, I create a recurring event (let's say Linux User Group):

** <2013-10-07 17:00-19:00 +4w> LUGG    @City

(you can even skip the "+4w" here)

Next, I invoke org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift and multiply the
event for the next year or so. This gets me a copy of the event for
each occurrence. Those distinct events I can delete, cancel, move,
add notes to, and so forth.

I like this much better than one heading for all occurrences.
