We've got several bugs relating to choosing a new default cron daemon, and/or supporting other alternatives. <snip>
I thought we decided on fcron with the small adjustment/script needed to support /etc/cron.d in the last round of discussion about this. bcron was also popular (+1 from me...) but then we need an anacron replacement too (i.e. fcron).
Is there also an issue we're trying to solve with anacron? Can't we use bcron (or any other cron for that matter) and still use anacron separately? I understand that fcron could theoretically do the work of both, but don't see an inherent advantage over two separate tools which might each be better at their own job. - P
