right now crontab seems already be used (at least recommended) if I remember 
correctly to read in some data needed for some bots.

So there is the overall question:
# What are the target systems of intelmq? Where should it run?

Is it GNU/Linux systems (which would be easiest),
GNU/Linux like systems including OpenBSD,
or systems like Mac OS X and MS Windows?

** systemd is a tool very specific to operating systems with the kernel Linux 
that also use systemd already. Making it a requirement would exclude a number 
of other operating systems (or even GNU/Linux distribution).

# I agree that we should have a way to "schedule" components that run 
continuously or just at certain times. The question is: Do we consider this a 
task to be configured within intelmq or as a requirement for its environment?

The answer to these two questions would highly influence my design decisions.

Regards,
Bernhard
