Puppet Community,

We need your help.

We have a terrific contribution from Bart ten Brinke that would add an
`unless_uid` parameter to user resources.  The pull is request is 628 (
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/628).

We acknowledge the clear use case around needing to exclude specific
users--not explicitly managed by Puppet--from a purge.  Because we don't
yet have an awesome resource collection syntax for this and we feel that
would be a decent-sized investment, we're on the fence about the syntax
that this would create.  Here's the example from the pull request:

class users::resources {
  resources { 'user':
  purge              => true,
  unless_system_user => true,
  unless_uid => [10_000..20_000];
  }
}


To reiterate, we see value here and can't think of a better near-term
solution.

What are your thoughts? Is this intuitive enough? Is it a must-have feature?

Thanks for your input,

Jeff Weiss
