Hi Andrew,

C-h v is normally bound to `describe-variable'.

So you can run this:

M-x describe-variable RET org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp RET

In recent Emacsen, the completion mechanism is clever enough to know
what to do when entering 

M-x describe-variable RET org-agenda-ignore TAB

On the first TAB, it offers "org-agenda-t-ignore-"

If you complete "org-agenda-todo-ignore-" and press TAB again,
you should see five variables.

I do :)

Try this:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("X" "Todo test" todo "TODO"
         ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 2)))))

When listing todos, the ones that are 2 days or more in the future
will be ignored.

You can also use this for tags-todo if 
`org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' is set to t.

We don't have `org-agenda-agenda-honor-ignore-options' so
this is not relevant in agenda-type views.  Maybe we can 
consider this.

In your case, this does not solve your problem, since you
want an item-based decision, not an agenda-based one.

But... my first question would be... 

***** TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
      SCHEDULED: <2013-01-11 Tue +1w> DELAY: <2013-01-24 Thu>

why not simply have this instead:

***** TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
      SCHEDULED: <2013-01-25 Fri +1w>

?

Maybe I miss something obvious in your workflow, and maybe 
this is something needed more widely.  Let us know!

Hope that helps,
