Johan, while you and I were doing simple scripts to send jobs to the queue,
others were not.  They were doing bigger jobs and the amount of these bigger
jobs caused the cron machine to slow down or not function at times.  Before the
cron switch, around ~15% of my cron jobs never ran.  So, having cron jobs sent
to the queue is a good thing.™  Having jobs on the queue not being able to
submit jobs is a different story.  Currently, it is penalizing those of us who
doing the right thing before the switch.  This problem has also been known for
a week now.
