I agree with Seva, and also point out that by trying a list append, you are
still thinking procedurally and not declaratively...
Procedural programming (and thinking) says "do X, then Y, then Z"
Declarative programming (which is what Cfengine is) says "make sure that X, Y
and Z are all satisfied", and let the language (largely) worry about ordering
and retries and most importantly, "convergence" on the final goal.
