I'd also make it controllable via use flag. Put the client and the |
| 10 |
cron.daily file in a package, and then make that a use-dependency of |
| 11 |
something everybody has (the profile if profiles support this (don't |
| 12 |
think they do), and if not pick something that correlates well with |
| 13 |
people who would benefit from this feature. |

Users can opt-out via use flag. |

You can also start out with it being opt-in (use flag off by default |
| 18 |
in profiles), and then turn it on later (with notice/etc). |
