It used to be that cron(8) was always installed. Now it's optional. But some packages still assume cron is always installed, and therefore they need to have their RPM's updated to add a "Requires: cron" line. Examples: $ rpm -qf /etc/cron.daily/{mdadm,packagekit-background.cron} /etc/sysstat/sysstat.cron mdadm-4.0-lp150.8.6.1.x86_64 PackageKit-1.1.10-lp150.11.1.x86_64 sysstat-12.0.2-lp150.16.1.x86_64 $ rpm -qR mdadm PackageKit sysstat | grep cron | wc -l 0 So "Requires: cron" needs to be added to at least mdadm, PackageKit, and sysstat. I'm sure there are others...
