The only thing I would say is that we should NOT have cron.
The syntax is horrible and is one aspect of Unix systems I personally
find very unusable.

What about a cron frontend?

I'm thinking of a GUI of course, but some formula syntax could be provided for batch processing of calendars and whatnot, and it's a given that cron's syntax wasn't really designed for human usage and parsing, but on the other hand it shouldn't be at all difficult to translate between the frontend's own syntax and cron's.
