It doesn't seem like dcron is maintained very well [1], so I think we should consider switching. FS#18681 [2] is quite a critical bug in a crond when everyone expects jobs to run only once.
I'd like to go with fcron because it seems to work very well for most people, has a lot of features while having a small dependency tree.
Comments welcome.

Before switching to the new dcron I always used fcron. I didn't notice any issues with dcron but I also hadn't had any issues with fcron, and fcron has a lot of useful features also for systems which don't run 24/7. So if there are serious issues with dcron I'd also suggest switching to fcron as default. Heiko
