From now on -PLEASE- no one use the cron {} keyword in puppet.

If you need to put a cron job in place via puppet you do it either
using /etc/cron.[hourly|daily] or you put a .cron file in /etc/cron.d
and reference it that way.

I am so tired of having to chase through /var/spool/cron for system
cron jobs and I'm really tired of ensure=absent for cron jobs not
working.

so no more.

it's gone.

poof.

I'll work on rooting out the rest of them as I get to them.
