Totally. We should replace run-parts with something much simpler and
more predictable. Then, if that doesn't work for you, all modern crons
can do the things that run-parts tries to do, but better.
Basically: if I choose vixie-cron, then let me get the vixie-cron
behavior. Or if I choose something more modern, get out of the way.
