Currently, the "Promote draft to post" command uses the current datetime to set the date of the post - source.
It would be preferable if this command looked for a date parameter in the front matter and used today's date only as a fallback if no date key is found.
Another idea is to provide a setting which allows the user to determine if the post date should be used, or today (or tomorrow?).
Yet another idea is to prompt the user to confirm the date by providing a default (first being a date in the front matter, second being today). This allows the author of the post to override the date if this ever needed to happen?
Need to think more about this...
