Since we're voting, I hope I'll cause no damage to any further agreement
by voting for the *other* solution :)
Most of the time, I'm rescheduling when:
1. the date of the event moved; in this case, it easier to reschedule
relatively to the initial date.
2. the date is *today* and I want to delay the task: in this case, there
is no difference between the two solution :)
Okay, you might ponder my vote like this: (* vote .75)
