Hi,

in a discussion today on IRC #debian-devel, it was mentioned that 
cron is "important". However during the trixie development cycle, 
many more packages started installing systemd timer units.
On a default install, I would therefore argue that cron is no longer 
very important.

Relatedly, cron Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent, 
which we kinda also no longer expect to be installed by default on a 
default install anymore. Due to how debootstrap works today, the 
Recommends: is very often not fulfilled. Nevertheless I doubt we 
still expect an MTA to be part of the default install.

Thanks,
Chris
