For the record, I object to this change. I think keeping /etc small
and simple, and having one right way to do any given thing, is more
important (much more important in the long run) than making it
slightly easier to install canned cron scripts from packages.

This is predicated on the assumption that it's easier for a human to
handle one moderately large structured file than a lot of little tiny
files, but I believe this to be reasonable.


(...also, if I wanted redhat I know where to get it.)
