Hi, in a discussion today on IRC #debian-devel, it was mentioned that cron is "important". However during the trixie development cycle, many more packages started installing systemd timer units. On a default install, I would therefore argue that cron is no longer very important. Relatedly, cron Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent, which we kinda also no longer expect to be installed by default on a default install anymore. Due to how debootstrap works today, the Recommends: is very often not fulfilled. Nevertheless I doubt we still expect an MTA to be part of the default install. Thanks, Chris
