I think it would be better to avoid adding a dependency to pick up the CronExpression since that would likely force the Policy off into a yet another companion since we would not want to force everyone who uses extras to pick up quartz.

Why would this be an issue? For those wanting to use CronExpressionTriggeringPolicy, they would simply put the dependency in the classpath. For those that don't use CronExpressionTriggeringPolicy, there would be no runtime dependency, only a compile time dependency. If we were talking about Log4j-core, then it would be a different story. But I don't see why log4j-extras has to be shielded from external dependencies?

I likely overstated that. If I were doing it myself, I'd want to make sure that CronExpression added sufficient value to justify the extra dependency and that the dependency was ASL licensed (which was indicated) and that the project is sufficiently live etc.
