But you can write the cronjobs so that they are inert if the
dæmon is absent (which should be done anyway), and users can
chmod -x files in /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} to
disable them (however not for /etc/cron.d/ though).

OTOH, the cronjob removal is n̲o̲t̲ something agreed upon. This
is maybe something to take to d-devel.
