Perhaps a larger audience would have allowed a
consideration of alternative solutions. An example of such a solution
would be hourly/daily/monthly/weekly timers that execute scripts from

here. It would also have a benefit of handling all cron tasks in
addition to logrotate/updatedb/man-db/shadow.
Thanks

That sounds like a good idea.
Instead of removing the entire cron system, this would allow
systemd-timers to function as an alternative to cron.
it would also reduce the increasing dependency archlinux has on systemd
as init system.
