Neil, I think you succeeded in expressing my concerns.

When this feature was announced, I said that it was "puppetish". I was
not sure how it could fit into cfengine's design, but I couldn't see
exactly where things didn't hang together. You clarified that, at least
in one aspect. Thanks.

My first concern remains, however. We already have ways to reorder
promises that are consistent with cfengine's design. We don't need to
mock puppet.

Ciao
