Removing the /etc/cron.d/0hourly symlink will have no affect on any
other jobs - it will just stop anacron's hourly check for missed
jobs. You can completely remove anacron, and all the rest of the
cron jobs will still run fine on a machine that runs 24/7. All
anacron does is run missed cron jobs - such as jobs scheduled to run
when the machine was powered off.
