I  mean they can co-exist in distributive, and not on machine under TSL.
A user will have to decide if he wants to use fcron 2 or fcron3.

I suggest the following scenario:
-  if  a  user wants to continue using fcron 2.9.5 with its bugs he does
absolutely nothing.
- if a user wants to jump to fcron 3, he does "--install fcron3", fcron3
package irretrievably overrides fcron2, and then --upgrade will cause an
upgrade of fcron3 if available.

As I remember some time ago sqlite3 was introduced almost the same way.

For  me  it is pretty strange that TSL team does not want to do anything
about  such  obvious  bug  of fcron 2.9.5.  I don't see too much changes
between 2.9.5 and the latest versions...
