no, it's generating modules.xml files used by g.extension [1].

I will turn off the job.

Note there is also currently the adhoc VM for things that may be risky or low priority, but be kind to the disk i/o as that is shared among all the other VMs on the same host.

OK, it was discuss in the past with result that such cronjob is OK.
Things are changing, I can move the job to our servers and propagate
to grass.osgeo.org just resultant xml files...
