Is the running of cron jobs essential to the proper function of any current
package?  If not, personally, I'd rather not worry too much about adding
dependencies and consider it optional.

There are few affected components that have a hard dependency on cron binary being in place and in general from my pov no package should ever *expect* anything to be available since I personally think doing so is a bad workflow but other might disagree in that regard.
