Enhance Task View
Add a new button to the "Tasks" view menu called "Show Distant".
Add a new setting under Settings>>Tasks called "distant task is x days in future".
Rationale: If create a task in the distant future, for example, "renew mydomain.com 1/1/2016", then I do not want to see it (by default) until the due date gets near. I want this to be a task and not an event because I want the typical "overdue" behavior of a task. Unless I'm missing something, it is my understanding that as things are presently, I will have to "see" that task in the tasks view everyday for years...

Thank you for this suggestion! Such tasks, that "appear" at a future date are planned for a future update. Until then you could use "Floating events" instead, which should already do what you are looking for (i.e. they will follow you on the current day when they are overdue):
