------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
I checked how it's done in SF original code. It's in fact purely theorical: 
it's not updated according to real cron activity but according to theorical 
cron activity.

It only calculates time between the next cronjob scheduled.  If the cronjob is 
delayed, or modified, it should be remodified.

So it's not as good as I though. I was thinking about something saying that 
"the last cronjob was at $this-time, you can expect the next at $this-time". 

Also, since we added detailled information in the FAQ, we had only few 
complaints about delays.

So I propose to close that bug because I think that even if we implement it 
right now, it will be not really maintainable because there is plenty of 
reasons to edit and adapt cronjobs on different Savannah installation.

What do not you think? I close the bug but everybody is free to reopen it if he 
do not agree with me. This not an authoritative and definitive no :)
