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.
with the same line of argumentation i could say let's keep vcron and if 
people want dcron, it's in pkgsrc-wip anyway (and if it isn't there, it 
should be easy to put it there).  unless of course it administers the 
same or has other important features we don't want to miss.  so what's 
the real gain with dcron?
