With the discussion of the KAM channel and Fedora's sa-update script that
uses directory-based channel configuration, I went snooping into their
script and systemd units. It looks like sa-update.cron has a 2-hour random
delay before it looks for updates. I'm thinking it would be nice to move
that delay into the systemd timer unit using the RandomizedDelaySec
feature. This would allow the script to be run from the command line for
immediate testing without waiting for the delay. The delay would be done by
systemd, instead. The delay in the script should be configurable and able
to be disabled in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin, anyway. (For example, if it
was to be used with the pre-systemd RHEL 6.) I'm throwing this here in case
anyone sees a reason not to do this, before opening a bugzilla.
