They don't even make sense. Who's the vendor?
Ummm… IBM?
It's fully open-source software, where's the lock-in?
Here's a hundred thousand lines of code. Documentation? Not so much. But, hey, it's "open-source".
Sometimes things do need to be re-implemented, there's nothing wrong with that.
You wrote the magic word: "need". You hit the nail right on its head! So, cron needed to be reimplemented …exactly why?
Heck, cron was almost a portable standard of its own. We went from vixie- cron to cronie, with barely a hiccup. crontabs worked the same way, and they've been working the same way not just for years, but for decades.
