Followup-For: Bug #1089172
There is systemd-cron, which by the way provides cron-daemon anyway,
although that could have been made more explicit for those unaware.
Thing is, it's also a crutch, and was only ever meant as an interim
solution while the remaining vestiges of cron crumble(d) away. The
question is not (and was not) what systemd timers provide that cron and
friends don't: they provide all of that and much, much more, that's one
reason they replaced it. It is obsolete on systemd-platforms, that is
probably 95% of Linux desktops/servers. And there is no excuse to make
the vast majority of users install *two* equivalent mechanism, or even a
crutch as mentioned, when they already have systemd, and whether they
like it or not. Virtually nothing else requires to install cron-cruft
anymore.
