Hi Andrew, sorry, but I got to disagree :)

Iirc filed the original bug for 'no renewal before' and it was added, before
the auto-renew was added to Koha.

The reasoning is the calculation of new due dates on renewal:

If you want to calculate the new due date on the base of the old due date,
there was nothing to prevent users going into the OPAC after checking out an
item and immediately renew the item x times to extend the loan period to the
max without holds forcing them to return the items.

If you calculate the new due date on today's date, this would be prevented, but
also users might be surprised that the due date only gets extended a few days
or not at all (when renewing the same day). 

So the no renewal before allows to avoid these problems. We are using it with a
lot of libraries that are not using auto-renewals.
