Well, we could always broadcast the news widely (lists, forums, eselect news, and so on). I'd also make it controllable via use flag. Put the client and the cron.daily file in a package, and then make that a use-dependency of something everybody has (the profile if profiles support this (don't think they do), and if not pick something that correlates well with people who would benefit from this feature. Users can opt-out via use flag. You can also start out with it being opt-in (use flag off by default in profiles), and then turn it on later (with notice/etc). The key is to not be sneaky about it.
