RC. | important | Important programs, including those which one would expect to find on | any Unix-like system. If the expectation is that an experienced Unix | person who found it missing would say "What on earth is going on, where | is foo?", it must be an important package.[6] Other packages without | which the system will not run well or be usable must also have priority | important. This does not include Emacs, the X Window System, TeX or any | other large applications. The important packages are just a bare minimum | of commonly-expected and necessary tools. cron is part of POSIX. http://www.unix.com/apropos-man/posix/1/cron/ We had a similar discussion about this recently with the package 'ed', as there is a bug against 'ed' which wants it back in 'important' (#776413 and #776557). So either we fix the policy or cron needs to stay in 'important'.
