I understand this exactly. But I still have the feeling that making
cronie as the default cron daemon could be a mistake.

I also know that the question is just about a default for new
installations and not about having just only one cron in the repos.
Nevertheless those features and use cases should be taken into
consideration because Arch Linux is not only installed on 24/7 servers
but also on desktops. So a default cron daemon should fit both needs
and not only one.
