Subject: [Puppet-dev] [PATCH/puppet 1/1] (#7018) explain internals better in
service provider documentation
Add explicit reasoning for hasstatus in the documentation with certain
"virtual" services.
Just to clear up why notify => Service["something_virtual"] requires
hasstatus defining for it to function.
