I like fcron a lot, but I really lack the time to properly take care of it.
So, I would not be opposed of someone else taking fcron over, as long as
whomever does it meets my minimum requirements, which are:
1. you do test stuff before you upload.
2. you do test stuff before you upload.
3. you do test stuff before you upload.
4. you don't trust stuff from upstream before you look it over
(fcron upstream is rather good, so this is not usually a problem...
still, it pays to be doubly paranoid over something such as a
crontab dispatcher).
5. you do test stuff before you upload.
...and...
6. you don't stick rm -rf $something-not-quote-safe in maintainer scripts.
