I wasn't proposing that you use the editor as a backend. :) Rather, when cronconf is invoked have it call crontab with the EDITOR=cronconf as a environment variable. Then your configuration program will be invoked to edit a temporary file in a safe environment. This can also be used to edit some other cronfile by the user.
