The latest upstream release is this:
cron_4.1.shar 2004-Jan-23 19:20:23 200.7K application/octet-stream
As you can see, it will turn ten soon.
Of course, distros are patching the crap out of it but nobody ever
took over maintenance. RedHat instead forked it about six years ago
and called it "cronie".
ISC, who released the above version, don't even list it any more among
their software.
I daresay that's basically the very definition of "dead".
