Enable distribution of x days of scheduled learning elements to y days
Typically I enter new cards in "bulks" of same topic. Let us say that I in a couple of days enter 500 cards bulk topic A.
I am eager to learn them quickly. After some days "calculating statistic" reveals that in x days scheduled cards per day will suddenly drop dramatically.
At the same time I realise that I would benefit from spending some time learning another basic topic before chewing into bulk A. It would then be very convenient to tell mnemosyne: Please take the 500 cards (tag = Z) you have scheduled for repetition the next 10 days and spread them over 20 (or 30.. etc) days instead.
This will also even the daily burden ( I really like to empty "scheduled cards" every day... ). I guess also that if a card is graded 5 after a longer period the "Next Rep" period will be even longer? :-)

Isn't this what hold-in-hand checkbox is about?

I'm not in favour of adding 'free days', as your memory itself does not take a holiday.
If you miss reviews, Mnemosyne already automatically reorders cards based on their priority.

It could be a nice to have something like a calendar instead. For example: "I want to learn x cards until the first of July. Mnemosyne, please create a schedule! :) " In this calendar you could add "working days" and "free days".
This would probably boost the number of people who use Mnemosyne.

I personally thing the cleanest solution to this problem with the least potential to abuse is simply not to learn too much material in one go :-)
This is why there is a warning message if you learn more than 15 cards per day.
