Issue #1967 has been updated by Rahul Gopinath.

A similar requirement is there for solaris 11. Until solaris 10, the package 
provider used to be the unix pkgadd/pkgrm commands (package/sun provider). 
However with Solaris 11, a new package manager `pkg` is the recommended way. 
Thus we need a way to specify that `pkg` is default for solaris 11 and beyond. 
Currently we can only specify that it is default for solaris 11. i.e 
`defaultfor :osfamily => :solaris, :kernelrelease => '5.11'`. 

A better approach that solves both this and the original problem would be to 
allow a block to be passed to defaultfor, and let the instance check if it 
should be a default, and set the specificity. This would allow a user to write 
a new default provider.

You should be able to specify multiple defaultfor statements in providers:

<pre>
    defaultfor :operatingsystem => :redhat, 
               :lsbdistrelease => ["2.1", "3", "4"]

    defaultfor :operatingsystem => :oel,
               :operatingsystemrelease => ["4", "5"]
</pre>
