It's not the same thing to cf-agent but it is arguably an unexpected approach for the cfengine newcomer. One gets comfortable in shell land working, for example, on directory contents via symlinks. In my first encounter with cf3 I naively created a promise to copy files into /etc/init.d only to find that it replaced the symlink with a new dir and dropped the files inside. There are surely arguments for the cf3 approach to symlinks but it would be good if the documentation highlighted the behaviour. I did a quick scan of relevant sections and didn't see anything explicit.
