I tend to use different defaults for the different types, so I would
love to be able to do:
File { mode => 0444 }
Directory { mode => 0555 }
(I use read-only status as a final safety net for sysadmins who run
"sudo vi <file>" on something managed by puppet)
...and leave Symlink types alone (since that all-bits-high mode is one
of the ways I pick them out in an ls -l lineup sometimes, and is
probably functionally significant somehow).
And as was mentioned elsewhere, the recursive copy off of the file
server is probably the quirkiest use of File resources.
