Run stages are syntactic sugar. There is nothing you can do with them that you cannot also do with explicit class and resource relationships. A little bit of candy is good for the psyche, and their sugary nature does not predispose me against run stages. They are nice as an organizational mechanism, and somewhat for self-documentation. On the other hand, I don't care for parameterized classes at all, and you cannot use run stages without them. In this case, run stages do nothing whatever to address the problem that you cannot manage properties of a mount point while a filesystem is mounted on it. You still cannot see the underlying directory. Moreover, Puppet's prohibition against duplicate resources extends across all run stages.
