For what it's worth - I had no issues with fcrontab and standard
crontabs. The /etc/cron.schedule stuff even worked flawlessly with an
appropriate systab.

It supported every "standard cron" option I ever used, and eliminated
the need completely to use anacron. A "one package" solution so to
speak.
