As far as I can tell generators serve only one purpose and that is to 
bridge an gap to allow users of consumers of systemd to migrate to it's 
native format hence I thought  that we would only support one native 
systemd format hence generator for distro-specific or alternative 
components ( be it cron, be it ifcfg files etc ) to what we provide 
would be created and handled by downstream or whomever else requires it.

Or to put this differently we will not create. come up with, ship ( and 
thus support those ) generators but expect consumers of systemd to use 
systemd and it's format natively in their environment.

Alexandre why did you decide to write that generate to begin with?

Why not migrate what needs to be migrated to native system timer formats 
for those relevant component and leave the rest be handled by the 
traditional cron daemons since those two components complement each 
others shortcomings ?
