Related to this and server, and remembering that we had a non working cron
issue proposed as blocker but we didn't have a clear criteria that was
violated to accept the blocker bug, but the majority of the meeting
attendees was in favour of blocking because cron was not working on server
edition and that was a big issue... could we discuss about having blocking
core applications on server flavour? just some basic services, sshd, cron,
systemd...
