Right. Well another possibility is perhaps to add fcron to
Fedora Core as an alternative to vixie-cron?
Ship and support 2 applications to serve the same purpose which
largely overlap in functionality? I thought we were trying to
get rid of that?
My thoughts:
1) Shove fcron into Fedora Extras
2) Add SElinux support to vixie cron
