That would be very cool indeed, manifests would get quite big though
in really large environments (think 100k end points). Juniper and
Cisco support would be great.

Funny, Brice and I had talked about this a while ago :) Obviously
you could use a host as "proxy" to get facts and then decide what
hooks to run. I (re)wrote a little ruby lib [1] thinking about this,
still need some work btw
