[GNC] Future transactions

[David Carlson]

I believe one important take-away from this thread is that there are many
ways to use scheduled transaction s and there is no one best way that works
for all users.

If a developer were to tackle some of the bugs and feature requests in this
area it would be important to avoid "breaking" one use to optimize another.
