I don't agree. You are not changing the system, you are changing
Puppet's behavior (towards being more consistent, I believe).
Another contrived example of an issue that could arise:
user { 'apprunner':
home => '/opt/vendor/main-app',
}
file { '/opt': owner => 'sysadmin' }
user { 'sysadmin': require => User['apprunner'] }
Yes, unlikely that such a require would be used. It might emerge from
class interdependencies, though, as part of a larger cycle.
Cheers,
Felix
