The GTD methodology encourages people to not set due dates unless the items are truly due. And if they are truly due, then missed commitments need to be renegotiated, not just deferred. I'm not opposed to auto-rollover on principle, though I wouldn't personally use. The growing pile of deferred actions on my old Palm Pilot was an automated stress producer.

Please note, I'm not arguing for omitting this feature on GTD-purity grounds. It's just not something that I would assign much value to compared to other features (like meta-data, smart folders, an icon for repeating actions, and more robust support for repeating items).
