Good for you.
I don't suppose you use gpsd under systemd. The gpsd maintainers hate
systemd with a passion because systemd makes assumptions about daemons
which simply do not apply to gpsd. And every time the gpsd maintainers
cobble together some way of beating systemd into submission, systemd
changes the rules and we're back to the drawing board.

What does "weak" mean?
cron has its problems. So someone -- debian? -- glued anacron on top of
that, giving us the subsequent mess. Now along comes systemd with more
of the same ill-thought-out design? No thanks.

And there's perfectly good code out there, some of which has been in
use since before Bill Gates was in diapers.
