Replying on google does not work as I am used to. It sends to the sender instead of the group. 😱

TBF, it wasn't really clear (to me at least) what the question was
about. Either what you surmised, or what Michael surmised or maybe
about which Debian releases have cron installed by default? I certainly
couldn't work it out.
I was not surprised that cron was installed. (I want to migrate cron to systemd timers.) I was surprised that I could ask the status of cron as a normal user. That seemed strange to me, I expected that only root would be able to do that.But I use systemd, but certainly am no expert. But willing to learn more.
