Comment (by iwakeh):

 Thanks for the quick reply and the very useful background information!

 Please go ahead and remove all obsolete code!

 I will add another property for having a particular module activated or
 not.
 That way the configuration is readable without explanation and it could be
 taken offline without loosing the timing configuration.

 In addition, a negative number would actually make sense for an offset in
 minutes from the epoch.
 But, I'll only make negative numbers available, if I don't incur any
 implementation overhead for that.
 Thus, most likely only positive values for minutes from the epoch and
 strictly positive numbers for the period settings.
