None.  On the other hand, we have very few recurring events that end a year from
now.

I don't know what the best way to do this would be, and I don't think another
administrative preference setting is such a good idea (creeping featuritis being
an Evil to Avoid).  Would it make sense to leave the default empty and require
the user to choose some values if the option is selected, before allowing the
edit screen to close?

For a little while.  <g>
