Well, you're up against the minimalist approach to core PostgreSQL there.  It 
would pretty much *have* to be an optional add-in, even if it was stored in 
pg_catalog.  I can see a lot of uses for a back-end job scheduler myself, but 
it would need to go through the gauntlet of design criticism first <wry 
grin>.
