Excuse the fuel for the fire...
A class in Puppet is just a group of objects that have some sort of
relationship - whether people are abusing classes or not depends on
one's point of view. The choice of the word "class" has been lamented
over before ;) To be honest I don't see much benefit in a block{}
structure, I just see it as avoiding the use of a class for people's
conceptual reasons.
