So what about:

   cron.* scripts should not produce any non-error output in
   general.  An exception may be made if the intention of the
   script is to mail a status report to the administrator.

Though I feel that the exeption is to broad. I don't want to be
mailed status reports like "everything is fine" from dozends of
machines.
