Implementing a simple scheduler isn't hard. However, using the system
scheduler allows a single point of configuration and modification in
the system to enable use cases like:
* Sync every 6 hours, but only if I'm connected to wifi and on battery.
* Sync every 12 hours, after connecting to VPN connection #1, if not
roaming. Disconnect the VPN afterwards.
By having a single point which provides the scheduling it doesn't need
to provide these use cases now, but can be modified to support them
later.
