I second this suggestion. cronie upstream isn't dead at all. cronie is a drop-in unlike fcron which was favored earlier.
Is it such a drop-in like the new dcron when dcron upstream was adopted by this Arch user?
Better look at the features and the use cases (don't only think of some 24/7 servers, but also think of the desktop users) and not at some small differences in the crontab syntax. It's definitely not such a big work to re-adjust a few crontab entries if this is necessary at all. And this work has to be done only once and can probably be done with sed.
i think you are not understanding the process. if cronie is moved in core, it won't have a replaces=dcron. Only new installations will get cronie by default instead of dcron. -- Ionuț
