/**
* cron - goes through all the feeds. If the feed has a skipuntil value
* that is less than the current time cron will attempt to retrieve it
* with the cache duration set to 0 in order to force the retrieval of
* the item and refresh the cache.
*
* If a feed fails then the skipuntil time of that feed is set to be
* later than the next expected cron time. The amount of time will
* increase each time the fetch fails until the maximum is reached.
*
* If a feed that has been failing is successfully retrieved it will
* go back to being handled as though it had never failed.
*
* CRON should therefor process requests for permanently broken RSS
* feeds infrequently, and temporarily unavailable feeds will be tried
* less often until they become available again.
*
* @return boolean Always returns true
