No, this is unrelated. If you schedule an item for the 1st of May, and
the same item again for the first of June, then from the first of June
you will have two entries in your agenda for today, reminding you that
you did not finish two things scheduled previously and not done yet.
Another problem is how to mark things DONE and still reschedule them
next time. Imagine we had something like
*** TODO Buy fresh milk
SCHEDULED: <*-*-01>
Lets say I get this entry in May and I finish it and mark it DONE. In
the Org-mode way, this means that I have to change TODO to DONE:
*** DONE Buy fresh milk
SCHEDULED: <*-*-01>
However, now it look like this thing is DONE and should never be
scheduled again. Hmmm, this would really require a new piece of
syntax.....
