The advice about 'not editing /etc/crontab' is mostly so that people
will prefer to use individual per-user crontabs which are much cleaner
to manage, especially if you're using a configuration management system
like puppet or ansible.  It does also provide a neat separation between
the 'system' cron jobs and user cron jobs as you say.

Despite the advice, if what you need to achieve requires editing
/etc/crontab, then go ahead and edit /etc/crontab.

	Cheers,
