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.

It does not seem that fcron deals with jobs that exit with value 11 (EAGAIN; resource temporarily unavailable). I have found no reference to EAGAIN in fcron's documentation. It simplifies my backup jobs, but if I really have to live without it, I guess I could implement that feature myself in my script. Does anyone like that feature? Did I miss something in fcron documentation? FYI : If a script exits 11, dcron will run it again 10 minutes later (by default).
