it's not essential: many jails don't need cron, for example.  i have
several micro (service) jails that only run a single binary and don't
need many things that would be considered essential on a normal
multi-user system.

fwiw, FreeBSD-periodic is already in its own package, so you can also
remove that if you don't need it.
