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

 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.

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