Feature already included in redmine ?

On 2008-05-25, revision 1459, redmine included this feature :

Adds a rake task to send reminders. An email is sent to each user with a list of the issues due in the next days, if any.
See rake -D redmine:send_reminders for options.

It looks stunningly close to what this plugin does, including options days, project and tracker. It also has users that this plugin does not have.

Is this plugin still needed ? What benefit does it add ?

(Some of your other plugins, like "add watcher by role/group" seem definitely better than stock redmine !)

Thank you for your attention.
