Right, but then it will show up in tags-todo lists before I want it
to. An example is renewing my driver's license, for which I could use
DEADLINE: <2011-10-12 Wed ++4y -2w>
but it would show up in tags-todo lists way before it would make sense
to renew. Although I suppose I could set org-agenda-ignore-deadlines
to 'all and just rely on the daily/weekly agenda to show them to me ...
Oops, frobbing org-agenda-ignore-deadlines won't help. It works in
the case of driver's license renewal, but it breaks a different case.
Say I've been asked to review a document by October 31. So I set a
deadline of 2010-12-31. But I do want to see it on my tags-todo list
now because if I had time now, I could review the documents and submit
my comments well before the deadline.
So that's why I use both SCHEDULE and DEADLINE: for tasks I want to
hide from the daily/weekly agenda *and* tags-todo lists until a
certain date without removing unscheduled items with deadlines from
tags-todo lists.
