Since I'm a relatively sparse calendar user, I find it quite helpful to be able to browse through my LATER section and see the few things I've scheduled a month or two out (I have 10-20 Later items).
I don't really look through DONE, if my Chandler use is like my email use I'll look through old items for a week or two, if that doesn't find the item I'll use search. I can imagine someone who puts several dozen birthdays on their calendar and another dozen weekly/monthly events having a somewhat unwieldy LATER section, but I don't think the size of a full-fledged LATER is likely to overwhelm the browser's ability to sort it. If you're going to have to go look through all your recurring events for within-a-month (or whatever arbitrary period) events anyway, it seems worth showing all LATER items. But I totally buy compressing the DONE section.
