Hey #Canonical, are you MAD?
"popularity-contest"? On a #Ubuntu #server? Freshly installed? Without notice?
Guys, seriously. Installing some kind of software "just because we can" during OS deployment is Microsoft-style.
Honestly I do not care if it runs without further configuration or whatever, but a by-default enabled cron job is enough for me to take further action.
This is exactly what causes computer security issues. Dropping software on users without need nor confirmation.
Please. Don't be #Microsoft.
And this is my polite version.
