The philosophy I use in my own modules is that params.pp should provide
the best possible default based on the host OS version. But at the same
time it should be a parameter, so it can be overriden by hiera to handle
cases where that default is wrong.
It's very rare when I have to do that. And when I do, it's usually only
needed until params.pp can be updated to handle the case (e.g., when a
package name has changed in a new version of an OS, and the module has
not been updated to handle that new version).
