IMHO a few setuid root, or setgid something executables are : way better than setuid root cron scripts. You have cron jobs that do a DF on unmounted file systems? That's the only thing that removing the setgid bit will impact. Generally, only root will want to do this. df on other file systems is unaffected as that information is available to non-priviledged users.
