It will contain crontabs, not executable scripts. All of them will be conffiles, so the sysadmin can change them without fear of updates. Disadvantage: needs a patch for cron, to scan this directory as well as the usual user crontab directory, and to execute those cronjobs as root, not as a user. Policy would be to only use this for cron jobs that absolutely cannot be handled by any of the other /etc/cron.period directories.
