Sounds great, I also think this is the best way to solve it. I did some local testing already with long-running jobs and can confirm TimeoutStopSec=infinity in the [Service] section works perfectly.

Hotfixing anacron by disabling timeout should be all that's needed until the cronie transition is complete. Cheers, -- Melvin Vermeeren Systems engineer
