Instead of listing all the classes again I believe you could do
"agent_or_master" or => {"agents", "master"};

This would require that agents, master, and other classes all be defined
in order to apply the policy. That probably isn't what you wanted. You
could do that with ors, I dont see why OR should not work with more than
two choices.

In that case I think you would just want your regex to not match
agent041 and agent042.
you could also just exclude those agents when do the class matching for
the promise too.
agents.!(agent041|agent042)::
I havent tested that, but I think it would work.
