shouldn't that go into cron.hourly?

to understand your question: You want that crons without an hour and
minute to 0 should be placed in cron.hourly while everything else should
go into crontab?
Then cron-Type manages the crontab of a user, while others should be
rather managed by file resources. You could tweak the cron provider to
achieve what you like to do. However: Why do you want such a behavior?
