Myself I get a little nervous when something as important as cron is changed without intensive testing and no way to go back to the older proven method. I'd feel alot more comfortable if these changes were made a command-line option as was discussed. I for one cannot afford cron to break on any production servers as this could literally cost my comapny thousands of dollars if scheduled tasks fail because of this change.
