By no means does parameterization inherently make a class better, though it does affect how you can use it. With Puppet 3, I'd generally rate class parameterization itself as neutral, but there are some scenarios in which it actually constitutes a loss (see, for example, the recent thread about hiera-gpg). With that said, I agree that the particular example42 module in question has some issues. I cannot recommend it (but not on account of being unparameterized). For the record, however, the way you would customize it for a given site would be to edit its "params.pp" file.
