Why not. There's two sorts of people. The ones that don't care/know
will be happy when things just work and the ones that care/know are
probably defining their own %base-services anyway...

Mmh... If we do something like this we shouldn't call it mcron-jobs,
otherwise we'll have the same problems like with grub - where all
variables are named grub or grub? or grub.cfg. How about just calling
it jobs?
