Hello Noel,

I think I have a good reason to want to have them removed. I hate them :)

I don't think Devuan should provide the option to use systemd. Why
should it? The decision in Debian to default the init system to systemd
is the main reason to fork Debian in the first place. And the users who
want systemd are better of using Debian instead of Devuan.

On my particular case, I want to have that cron.service file gone as
that is the main reason for me to re-compile it.

Cheers,

Anto
