The reasoning here is that you don't really "neglect" cards with long 
intervals, even if you're reviewing them a bit late, as there is some 
randomness to the schedule anyhow. 

Anyhow, I'm not against tweaking overdue behaviour, but I believe any 
change to the scheduler is best done backed up by analysis from the data of 
the science log, and that's currently not my priority I'm afraid...
