So, maybe the question I should be asking....

Cfengine is an incredibly powerful tool, and its possible to break things very 
quickly.    I'm writing and testing all my policies in a test environment, but 
I feel like once I unleash a policy into production then I have the ability to 
see behavior that I wasn't able to simulate in my test area.

I'm just trying to limit execution of policies without modifying the policies 
themselves.  If there is a better method of going about this, or someone else 
has a better solution -- I'm down.  Let me know how you've solved this problem, 
and if its a better solution than what I've hacked together -- super.

I'm already going to have to modify all my policies to take advantage of the 
"restricted" and "unrestricted" global classes.  The only other solution I 
could think of would be to individually point cf-agents at a different master 
policy server with the updated code.  That doesn't scale.

Maybe a feature request to build into the product down the line?  It seems like 
this would be a super handy feature that lots of folks would appreciate.
