We kind of decided to port the 40-60 things that use the .d/ dirs to
native units right away, and leave cron as it is, and not parse its
config files from systemd.

If people want cron, they should install it; new or common stuff
should just not pull it in anymore. The default install should not
require it.

We will likely never cover user cron, and would just leave all that
ancient stuff to the real cron implementation.

As always, there is no final decision, but this is how it looks like today. :)
