Aptly put. Please stop accusing us of being ignorant of your problems (we are, so yes, we are going to discuss this from a lot more academical position than you are). I also find the notion that the suggestion to submit a patch was an implied "eff off" mildly offensive. I will argue the design principle of the very "replace" parameter and this whole business all day long, but if there's code, and there is someone needing and using the code (and most importantly, a puppetlabs maintainer who will merge it)...well, there it is then. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
