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?
