     Should {login_names} be removed because of the potential ambiguity
 that it introduces and be better defined through a description like
 with cron(8)? Also, there's no description of the proposed change in
 the bug report, so for someone that's trying to figure out what this
 change is doing from a customer perspective it would be nice if it
 said something like 'add a reference noting where the default
 installed crontabs are located', etc.
     Finally, this documentation kind of duplicates what's already in cron(8=
 ):
 
      The cron utility searches /var/cron/tabs for crontab files which are
      named after accounts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into me=
 m-
      ory.  The cron utility also searches for /etc/crontab which is in a di=
 f-
      ferent format (see crontab(5)).
 
 [...]
 
 FILES
      /etc/crontab     System crontab file
      /etc/pam.d/cron  pam.conf(5) configuration file for cron
      /var/cron/tabs   Directory for personal crontab files
 
 Thanks,
