By adding another variable to control the 'repeated-after-deadline'
behavior, we would allow the user to combine this behavior with the
other behaviors of 'org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown'.
This would allow for more permutations.  This is a point in favor of
adding a dedicated custom variable.

Maybe we could create some data-structure that represents an agenda and
allow the user to manipulate that directly.  I'm not really a fan of
having a ton of variables controlling the agenda.  Although I imagine I
might gain some respect for it if I tried to implement this feature.

I was unaware of the one month policy.  Thank you for letting me know.
Due to that lack of a bug tracking system I have a fear that things on
the mailing list would get lost.  Maybe this fear is unfounded?
