+1!

Aa scheduler is an extremely common thing to have to integrate with
the database.  All of our commercial competitors have them, and they
are heavily used.

Like I noted above, what people want to schedule is going to be stored
procedures.  Having both would virtually eliminate the need for
scripting outside the database, which is a pretty big deal since
external scripts are a real pain to keep cross platform.  Since
there's probably a lot of overlapping problems in those two features,
why not tackle both at once?
