Possibly, but on Debian time, it will take you about five years to design guidelines on when to do this, create the tools to control this, and convince a sufficient number of cron job maintainers to implement this. In the meantime, doing this in anacron gets most people what they want most of the time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
