Quite serious.

Why shouldn't it be arbitrary?  The autoloader is there to make using
modules easier.  The current model represents a standard loading model
that controls what is loaded and operates by the principle of least
surprise.  That's not to say it can't be improved or changed and if you
have a suggestion about how it should autoload or an alterative scheme
please feel free to log a ticket.

I'd also like to address the tone of your emails to the list - I find
requests will generally dictate the tone of replies. I've noted that you
obviously find Puppet quite frustrating on occasion and this seems to be
reflected in the tone of your emails to the list.

We, both Puppet Labs and the community, recognize Puppet isn't perfect -
no solution is - and we're working to improve it every day.  I
personally don't think a constant stream of "Puppet is stupid, I hate
Puppet, Puppet sucks, I can't believe Puppet does it this way and that's
stupid" emails help that process.

What is an awesome contribution to making Puppet better is reasoned
feedback, ideas, alternatives, changes ... oh and especially patches ...
like every open source project we love patches.  You can send these to
the list or even better in the form of tickets:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/

We welcome the input - it's what drives Puppet forward.

Regards

James Turnbull
