We'll think about this.

Thanks, we are planning to make this clearer. In general, if it doesn't say
"Nova only" it
is available in Community. Note that the default docs are the bleeding edge, so
you might
have to compile from svn to get all the functions.

There is a use-module function, but you can also embed modules simply as
commands:
promises in Cfengine 3. Since there is no actionsequence, only a bundle
sequence you can
just arrange to place a module probe into a bundle/method early on.

This should sort itself out. Make sure you are using a recent version, or wait
for the
3.0.5 release next week.
