I think it _would_ be kind of neat to set up some tables to contain
what's in the postgres user's crontab, and have a pair of stored
procedures to move data in and out. If you had some Truly Appalling
number of cron jobs, manipulating them in a database could well be a
great way to do it.
That is, of course, quite separate from having cron in the core. And
having a _good_ set of semantics for the push/pull is a nontrivial
matter...
