I just checked...

1) it does not support polyinstantiation. 
2) It also does not send audit events based on denying a cron job. 
3) Its pam settings do not support the audit system out of the box. 
4) Its default pam settings need alignment with vixie-cron in general.

My guess is that fcron needs work to be able to use it in high security 
environments.
