No, this issue is worse than the syslog-ng vs. rsyslog debate as it
indeed appears almost every month as Sander already said. It's a lot
more trivial than syslog-ng vs. rsyslog. And this cron discussion is
always the same, always the same people with always the same arguments
and most of the people vote for fcron. So there needs to be made a
decision by the devs, so that this discussion finally can stop.

Maybe there could be a voting period - maybe in the forums - or just on
this mailing list or wherever, so that every user can vote for the
preferred default cron daemon.
