----------------------------------------
Feature #6911: Flexible, deterministic, unguessable application order
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6911

Author: Markus Roberts
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Markus Roberts
Category: 
Target version: Statler
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


We would like to change the order in which resources are applied to meet a very 
specific set of constraints:

1. The order should permit responsive adaptation to externalities (graph 
frontiers)
2. The order in which resources that do not depend on externalities should be 
consistent (deterministic) from run to run provided that no structural changes 
occur in the manifest
3. Changes in the ordering due to manifest changes should be limited in scope 
and correspond to the areas that were changed (that is, 
adding/removing/changing one resource should not affect the relative order of 
any unrelated pair of resources)
4. It should not be possible to guess the ordering a priori -- this mechanism 
is not a substitute for declaring dependencies.
