The bit about reinventing the wheel probably doesn't make sense to most of this list. RI is referring to something I hacked up as a slightly different direction to extlookup <https://github.com/nigelkersten/puppet-get> which I didn't send to the list after some chat back and forth between RI and I convinced me that it wasn't a productive enough direction to head in. > It has a 100% backward compatible CSV backend and new a YAML backend > This is killer work.
