My librarians in the past have had discussions over this feature in the past. The consensus here was that predictability is better. With the new due date calculated from the old due date it is not predictable. The librarian has no idea before hand what date to stamp on the checkout slip that goes in the book. With the due date calculated from today the librarian can be fairly certain before hand what the new due date will be, and have the stamp ready for that date.
I would like to see this feature enclosed in a System Preference. Thanks.
