In keeping with history and what sys-process/cronbase tries to accomplish, acct-user/cron should be setting ACCT_USER_HOME_OWNER="root:cron" and ACCT_USER_HOME_PERMS="0750". Because acct-user/cron is often merged before sys-process/cronbase (as it is in RDEPEND) and its keepdir with owner/group, the end result is that incorrect permissions can be set on directory creation. This is as discussed in $URL.
acct-user/cron has no maintainer since blueness was dropped from metadata.xml.
I think I agree with the changes you are proposing for acct-user/cron. In addition, we should drop the keepdir /var/spool/cron from sys-process/cronbase since it is entirely redundant.
