I usually display unscheduled TODO items in my agenda as well
(org-agenda-include-all-todo), so if I decide that I should work on some
of them next week then a bulk action to schedule them might come in
handy.

So one use case is to set a fixed scheduled date for a number of TODOs.
In my case these are tasks that have not been scheduled yet.

Another use case is when I decide that there will not be enough time
this week to complete all scheduled tasks. I want to move some of the
tasks to next week. This could be either a shift by 7 days or a
rescheduling to next monday (a fixed date).

Thanks
Christian
