Jira (PUP-1606) Virtual classes are always realized

[Adam T Backer (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Adam T Backer commented on an issue   Re: Virtual classes are always realized Still present in puppet 3.4.3. I have a class that I wish to apply with a default set of parameters to all hosts, and a different set of parameters on a handful of management hosts (agents on all nodes, management bits on management nodes) and was hoping to provide it with the same class using virtualized class resources. 2 years and almost one full major version seem like a long time to be ignoring a regression of a core feature (virtualized resources). Should I expect this behavior to return at any point or begin architecting around this behavior as if it were now the intended functionality? Are there major obstacles (like large refactors that have happened since this was functional) to fix this regression?

This worked in puppet 2.6.1 but is broken in 2.6.7. I also tried it in 2.7.9 and it still seems to be broken. The code below is a very simple example. vclass and the notify should not happen because it is not realized. {code} class vclass {     notify {"vclass":         ...
