Hmm... sorry we can't connect!  I'm not very good at explaining things. =)

I guess what I was trying to say is that cfengine never writes to 
/etc/postfix/alias.cdb but only creates it.  In your proposal with grep, it 
would do both.  Is that bad? Not monstrously, no. But it would certainly change 
the type of promise substantially, making it more like edit_lines than a 
command.  And I think the intent behind the organization of cfengine3 was to 
separate commands and file edits as much as possible for the sake of 
convergence.
