Issue #6766 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

I believe you're looking at this the wrong way around Konrad.

Currently the only way to notify on the agent side is to use a notify resource. 
*Because* it is a resource, and a special one that *always* "changes" so that 
the message is visible, it shows up as a change.

I'm saying that the right way forward is to *not* use a resource to issue 
notifications on the agent side, precisely because of what you're complaining 
about.

I'm not sure what your line about puppetlabs/community is meant to refer to.

Feature #6766: Ability to display messages during agent run without creating 
resource changes

The problem with the notify {} resource is that it isn't idempotent, and always 
shows up as a change.

Much like notice(), we should have a way to display messages on the agent that 
are purely informational, without creating changes for the reports.
