Note that this issue emerges from "time to time", see:

http://forge.typo3.org/issues/29321

Funny enough back then I even made an extension that does that:

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/cron_subheadereverywhere

Since the topic keeps popping up from time to time, I would have no
problem in making it available by default in new 6.2 installations. A
nice "new feature". :)

Cheers,
