Yeah so I think ‘%base-services’ is bound to remain pretty much the same
forever.
And what about adding it to ‘%desktop-services’? This one is clearly
for people who expect things to work out of the box.

Not sure I understand the problem. ‘mcron-jobs’ wouldn’t collide with
anything else AFAICS, and it would be clearer than just ‘jobs’ no?
So related question: putting ‘mcron-service’ in ‘%base-services’? It
would be a no-op in the absence of job specifications.
Thanks for your feedback,
