Hi,

Without any particular hat: I would expect someone wanting to drop cron
to come up with some analysis of what remains to be done and what is
going to break if that were to be implemented.

Also, at this stage of the release cycle, really?

Cc-ing debian-devel@ so that this gets discussed there.


Cheers,
