All,

We've been making a lot of progress on Deployments and deployment states 
(proposed, committed, active) as reflected by different snapshots.

In earlier designed, we'd captured something similar in the Attrib values 
(proposed vs actual).  Differences between these values are reflected as the 
Attrib state.

It looks like these two approaches are in conflict and we'll need to start 
resolving them over the next few days.  I do not expect this to be a sweeping 
change.

Basically, I'm proposing that general Attrib.state will be a reflection to the 
state of the snapshot that it is connected with.  For example, a snapshot that 
is the Deploy's proposed snapshot should have attribs that are also in state 
proposed.  This would be true for committed and active as well.

We have a few Attribs (HasNode specifically) that will still have their own 
state definition.

I also expect that we'll drop the "requested" component of the attribs since 
that information is also redundant with the active/commited/proposed state.  
This will be clearer as we incorporate inbound state from the jig.
