I don't think I'm understanding your question because I was requesting long-term consistency. It's not a forced upgrade *now*, but it's easy for me to imagine a scenario where I call you for support and say "I'm using Puppet 2.72 and facter 1.5.2" and you saying "Wow, I have no idea if that works or how it will behave!" Perhaps I'm wrong. I do expect 1.6 to be a bit different, but not needlessly so. If this were the switch to object-y facts, I'd say everything is up for grabs because I'll probably have to do work to convert our config then anyway. Since it's not that big change, I don't see the point in making this change when another fact name could easily be used. Let's assume I have a reason for upgrading to 1.6, why make changes when you could just make additions? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
