I wouldn't do that myself. I would renegotiate when "I'm ready". By looking at it through either the foreign minister or where it says "active deals". The problem is sometimes you get the short end of a renegotiated deal especially if you are stronger and it's for a lux. They will generally ask for more $$. A neat trick is when you renegotiate peace and ask for something on top of peace. Be prepared to war if you can't come to terms.

Nope. It means that whenever any of your current treaties/deals expires after 20 turns, you're brought back to the bargaining table rather than having the treaties/deals continue in perpetuity.

The "always renegotiate deals" thing always will either lock you into twenty turns of peace when renegotiating peace, or it will require you to declare war on your opponent's turn.

The problem is when you want a treaty to last 30 turns, you must brake 10 after it's negotiated, so you suffer a rep hit. If you cancel a treaty running for 30 turns, you are not hit.
@ Tomoyo -- I just found out in our current SGOTM that renegotiating peace locks you into a second peace treaty (or war declaration) even if renegotiate deals is off. Stinks, if you ask me, especially since the second treaty is offered straight up. (Presumably if you renegotiated peace the first time, it was because you could get the AI to give you something for it.)
Letting expired treaties go on is rarely in your favor, unless it's a situation like Pentium said where you *know* you're going to declare shortly. The AI will only allow the trade to go on in the first place if it's currently in their favor -- in other words, if they don't show up asking to cancel, it means you're paying too much (or they're paying too little).

@ Renata: Is that a spoiler? 
I suppose Always Renegotiate Deals guarantees the lock, while without it, it's only if the AI wants to.

Hmmm .. if you can figure out how to get any spoilage out of that, then you're a cleverer person than me. 
Where's your team's spoiler post, by the way, hmmmnnn?
Edit: I have no idea if you're right on that; I've never used renegotiate peace up until now. Actually, I didn't do it this time, either -- must've been all Tone's fault if it started 20 turns before the renegotiation popped up for me.

We got a draft. We're now voting on it.
