Should the requirement on Cronie be added to the spec file? or Should those cron-jobs be package in a separate sub package which would depend on Cronie?
Is the running of cron jobs essential to the proper function of any current package? If not, personally, I'd rather not worry too much about adding dependencies and consider it optional.
There are few affected components that have a hard dependency on cron binary being in place and in general from my pov no package should ever *expect* anything to be available since I personally think doing so is a bad workflow but other might disagree in that regard.
And I'd be very careful before qualifying any cron job as 'non essential". A lot of them are maintenance jobs you can get by without *some* time, but that will cause behaviour degradation or even failures in the long run if not run at all.
