You forgot to remove it from the AUR though:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37260

No matter which cron implemention replaces dcron that means that most
likely dcron will be dropped to the AUR, so it would be nice having 2
implementions in binary form, despite the fact that cronie only has 4
votes.

Has anyone actually tested it as a dcron replacement on Arch, now that
its built with anacron support?
