pacman should depend on "cron" rather than just "cronie"... or it could
be an optional dependency (you have to enable the crond for it to work
no?)

where does the output of the timers go?

+1 to the timer and leave cron as optional dependency, i think there's
people that won't use timers but keep using cron.
