so.. the next question this is if we attempt the model of not executing unless changes are made at the initial scan, it is possible that some other change between steps 3.3 and 5.1 would have caused a change to occur. So... even if I reload there could be issues. I think I am left with 3 issues: 1) Always have the Augeas Plugin execute (current state) 2) Always have it short circuit, and reload the files to limit data loss (but not eliminate it) 3) Add a "force" or a "dont short circuit" option which makes it behave like (1).
