Yes, they can. Cron can work whether you know about it or not
eg. "journalctl | grep cron | less

# time journalctl | grep cron
...lots of lines since July 28 (!)...

real	26m0.921s
user	10m25.731s
sys	3m7.579s
#

Not that useful. Any idea on how to improve that?

On my desktop it took 6 seconds, starting July 6, but it had only a few lines about the yum-cron problems the last two weeks. So on that computer I seem to miss a lot of lines in the systemd-log, that is present in the /var/log/cron file.

Strange things are happening, apparently...

Has all the software that (potentially) sends email been modified to
accommodate a crippled system?

How is it crippled, it's still logged?

One example. I get mail from cron, using yum-cron, with contents like the following. How is that handled without a MTA? Never got a response from Lennart Poettering on the devel list...

/etc/cron.hourly/yum.cron:
