Yes, because I think there is useful information there (primarily the second line, with the file name (usually) and date). Since it's in a script anyway, why not strip it yourself: crontab -l |sed -e '1,/^# (Cron version/ d' (actually "sed -e '1,3 d'" would proably be sufficient.) I'm going to close this one.
