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 relevant /etc/cron.* directories. That would allow for removal of cronie while sidestepping timer elapse problems that we are discussing here. It would also have a benefit of handling all cron tasks in addition to logrotate/updatedb/man-db/shadow.
Thanks Maciej Puzio 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.
