The reason I was thinking it would solve a problem is ... currently we use "HostGroups" as a location based setting. Pop has a specific hostgroup so that when the user goes to build a host his settings are set for "defaults" for that locale (such as puppet master, puppet CA, subnets/etc). Because of that we have a need of assigning puppet classes to a host group with specific parameters. So, applying a Config Group "dns-servers" would make sure all the classes for dns-servers puppet are applied to the server. In this case we'd need to be able to apply certain parameters to the "group" for those settings (such as specific firewall settings, dns settings/etc).
Now, if we switch to using host groups as a Host-Service we can get around this (and we're moving that way now) but because of that we really won't use Config Groups at all. They really don't buy us a lot unless we can set specific parameters for them. In short, we need Config Groups to have parameter options so we can have settings for those specific Config Groups. The plan originally was to have Config Groups be setup so that each group was a service. So, things like Apache, NTP, Mail/etc and each of those requires specific options for those groups while those not in those groups would need other options (normal machine wouldn't need to special mail server configs of say our primary mail spool). Maybe there is a better way to do this and I'm just not seeing it. We're still REALLY new at provisioning with Foreman.
