--- Comment #3 from Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> ---
Requiring `*.conf` is never a documented behavior and diverges from upstream
and major Linux distributions.

Are we installing crontab's with `.conf` extension?  It seems to be a major
disagreement with the naming convention required by LSB-Core-generic/sysinit
and even inconsistent with what the base system is using (which is similar to
what LSB have), so if we are doing it, it's probably a good time to stop doing
so and adopt something similar to the major Linux distributions, that is
basically [0-9A-Za-z_-]+.
