Stable 1.5.14 produces the warning /lib/systemd/system/cron-failure@.service:11: Special user nobody configured, this is not safe! every time a mail-on-failure service is run. Moreover, I have seen systemd-crontab-generator occasionally report global exception: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/run/systemd/generator/cron-crontab-/bin/rm-0.sh' and subsequently exit with code 1. In contrast, 1.5.17 uses dynamic users in cron-failure@.service instead and I have yet to seen the aforementioned generator error.
I'd also really encourage stabilisation more often. The last time was a year ago. ~arch is for testing already-suitable software for a little while before it officially is marked stable, not for things to soak forever ;)
