RE: Event feature already working in Server 5.1.37

[Daevid Vincent]

I don't "get it"... I mean, I get the concept -- it's a crontab; but why
would someone opt to put these events here instead of in the God-given
CRONTAB as everything else in the system uses? This just seems like one
more place to forget about a query/code and have "unexpected" things
happen. 

We already have a plethora of 'cron-like' tools:

 * at
 * /etc/crontab
 * /var/spool/crontabs/root
 * /var/spool/crontabs/joeblow
 * /etc/cron.d/
 * /etc/cron.daily/
 * /etc/cron.hourly/
 * /etc/cron.monthly/

Unless I'm missing some killer functionality this provides (and from that
URL, I'm not seeing any), then I wish the Sun/mySQL team would have spent
their precious time on more pressing features and or bug-fixes such as this
one that is now FOUR YEARS old... (that is erroneously marked as 'feature
request'!)
