Cron setup / extra file in directory cause message log to fill up

Part of the distribution there is a readme file inside /etc/cron/crontabs

readme.txt

Because cron will try to read all files in the directory, the logs will up with error messages for nothing.

Please can you remove this file from the image ?

Thanks

Eric
