It would be nice to be able to have per-backend hierarchies, but as it is,
I just don't create .gpg files for the levels of hierarchy I don't need, so
this isn't that big of a deal.
The only thing that would make it better, would be if hiera-gpg came with
hiera / puppet or didn't require a gem, but that's probably an issue to
take up with the author.
