because that's the path of least surprise: on wheezy cron depended on remote_fs, while jessie cron service doesnt, so during that migration you would have expected cronjobs depending on remote fs to correctly be executed, but that's a wrong assumption as cron service is happy to start before NFS shares are mounted, thus failing the jobs depending on them. i'm well aware we can add a drop-in in /etc/systemd to add the dependency, but the point is to have sane defaults and do not surprise the administrators with an unannounced change of dependencies.
