I'm not so sure this should be a system wide change since the migration it self affects less then half of total shipped cron jobs and for those that arent it only updates the components specfile to current packaging guidelines.

"System-wide" is defined "not self-contained", not "touching absolutely everything".  It is likely appropriate in ths case.

* Policies and guidelines:
** Adjust packaging guidelines to mention migration of cron jobs to timer
units for packages that already depend on systemd

Last time this was discussed in http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2013-02-06/fesco.2013-02-06-18.00.log.html , there were concerns about "confusion of users/admins", specifically referring to the disabling a .service / disabling a .socket duality.  So we will need packaging guidelines not only for the migration, but for the timer units themselves.

Not following here we already have packaging guidelines for systemd units

Those guidelines don't contain the word "timer" at all.  Perhaps they are already sufficient; if so, that's not immediately obvious.
