Replacing vixie cron with dillon's cron in base?

Hey,

I notice that we have Vixie's cron daemon in base. 

Why don't we have Matt's own cron system there instead of vixie's? dcron is 
simple, small, effective and secure. It supports multiuser crons as well. It 
would probably need a relicensing (because dcron is GPL). 

If people still want vixie's cron, it's in pkgsrc-wip anyway.

Heck, if I have some free time, I can make some patches :)

Cheers,
Emiel
