On comments vs handles thing -- I dont think comments show up in the output of 
verbose execution, which is why I use handles to document my policies.  This 
way, when I run a policy in verbose, I can see exactly what is going on and 
where.




# grep comment configure_etc_motd.cf 
                comment         =>      "populate empty file",
                comment         =>      "Replace a place-marker with the name 
of this host",
                comment         =>      "Replace a place-marker with the 
current time",

# /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -b configure_etc_motd -v 2>&1 | grep "populate 
empty file"
# 



So by using handle as a "comment" serves two functions for us then... It gives 
us an idea of whats going on with the promise, and is also used for debugging 
policy issues.
