Move schedule from cron to LaunchServices?

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but are there any plans to move the scheduling function off of cron (which I believe is deprecated in 10.4) to Launch Services? I would find it very useful if my backups would run regardless of which user (if any) was logged in, or even wake from sleep to run - I think Launch Services can do that?

I have played around a bit with deleting the crontab created by SuperDuper! and writing a script to execute the backup script with Lingon instead, but nothing ever happens and no error is produced. I can manually invoke the script from Terminal and it runs fine. Probably an issue with Lingon (or me) rather than SuperDuper!

I suppose this would break compatability with 10.3 but for me thats not an issue.

Thanks.
