We are generally pushing types and providers like this toward the forge, these 
days, because it means they can update on their own schedule independent of the 
core of Puppet.

In some ways I am more inclined to say that is the way to go, push these to the 
forge, and drop the mount type in core entirely for Telly.  Given that these 
can be a reasonably short adoption path away for anyone who upgrades major 
version, we should hopefully have a smooth transition.

What is the general feeling on that from the folks who are deeply embedded in 
this code - is it practical?  Would this work as a module?

Feature #7188: Mount provider/type split for Solaris
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7188

Author: Nigel Kersten
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: High
Assignee: Daniel Pittman
Category: mount
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/commits/feature%2Fnext%2Fmounttab


Splitting the mount type/provider into two, one to manage  "fstab" entries, the 
other to manage actual mounts.

This work will be done as an open sourced module that should be compatible with 
2.6.x and 2.7.x, with a view to merge this into Telly before release.
