"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.

In some cases, this may improve your device's startup and shutdown experience, memory usage, Store apps performance, browsing experience and battery life.
