[BlueOnyx:22618] Re: Updates overwrote root cron job file?

Ah, yes. Sorry about that. The installation of blueonyx-le-acme (the new
Let's Encrypt client) did run a ...

crontab /usr/sausalito/acme/crontab.cron

... in order to set up its cronjob. Usually BlueOnyx didn't set up
cronjobs that way, so I assumed it to be safe. But if you had previously
set up cronjobs manually via the crontab command, then it would wipe
your cronjobs.

Keep doing it the same way. I'll update the RPM to not replace custom
cronjobs but to do a merge instead.
