Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Problem/Motivation
I have the case where I install a profile with over 400 modules as a part of a (Drupal7) multisite system (running on Aegir). There is already quite enough problems that can happen with installing 400 modules in one go, but adding the cron run on top of that is making things worse. There is a higher chance of an error halting the site installation, or marking the install task as failed. Also, the installation is slow enough without cron run.
Proposed resolution
I propose not to run cron on site-install, as I see no compelling reason to do so.
