i think the point john (gilmore) was making is that it's a bad<br>
precedent that simply because a) systemd offers a second-rate API for<br>
scheduling events, and b) we only have a couple of uses for an event<br>
scheduler, that we should therefore switch from a well-established API<br>
to a lousy API. instead, if systemd can be made to support the cron<br>
API properly, it would be worth making it do so.<br>
<br>
barring that, or if it's too much work (likely), then if it saves us<br>
boatloads of disk to make the switch, and our use-cases don't lose<br>
functionality or correctness as a result, then i guess we should<br>
switch.<br>
<br>
but when systemd falls out of favor in a year or two we'll just have<br>
to change things again -- either to something new, or back to cron<br>
(which will most certainly still be available).<br>
