it sure could. i'm of the opinion though, that users should be allowed
to
shoot themselves in the foot - if you want to schedule 40,000 events per
second then fine, maybe your quantum computer can actually handle it!

Me too... as long as they're not also shooting the users and the systems
admin in the foot too
