Hi, Thomas: For me, a task with a future due date can wait while a task 
with no due date should be considered as possibly something to be done 
today./ I understand that everybody looks at this kind of thing 
differently, and I'm not suggesting that you would look at it the way I do. 
However, as Pottster was mentioning, this is all very flexible, with 
switches and sliders to fine tune it to math what you expect. I would 
suggest that you examine pages 45-50 of the user manual, and then try 
fiddling with the controls mentioned there to see if you can't come up with 
something that matches your expectations. If not, please write back in 
showing what settings you tried and what results you got.

Hi, Christoph.
The UserVoice item to which you refer involves adding another option to 
computed score. I would like you to know that computed score is already the 
single most complex configuration I have ever tried to tune and I have 
tuned some heavy stuff in my life. Adding yet another parameter is unlikely 
to make it any easier to understand. Before I would consider supporting a 
request to add another parameter I would want to know whether you had even 
tried to achieve what you want by adjusting the existing parameters, what 
you had tried, and how it had worked. Like Pottster, I hardly use this so I 
cannot give a lot of specific advice but I'm guessingthat a close reading 
of the relevant section of the user manual would be helpful.
