I would be opposed to making decisions around unlikely edge cases like people leaving old files around or having things like bad definitions like the above example. Unless anyone can think of an example where a legitimate, well constructed, module would fail this shouldn't be a considering. The full people with broken modules can remove the stray files and very easily move on from a problem like this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
