R.I.Pienaar commented on an issue   Re: Provide agnostic mechanism for Hiera Based Data in Modules Kewl, thanks. When I was looking at ways to plug into this I found several existing plugin systems. One seems to be in place to allow the PE CA cert count checks to function. It was tantalisingly close to what I needed but could do with just a little bit more - iirc I think if it just looked in the module libdirs rather than just the normal ruby libdirs for a named file it would have worked fine. Could we add a slight enhancement to that for 3.x nodes and I drop one file in that patches hiera like I do today. Once 4 is out we do a proper thing as you proposed and then I add hooks in for that in the module. This way the fix is small to a existing bit of code and it has a natural EOL built into it as it would be 3.x only? Now I am not 100% up to scratch with that plugin system and the code paths there but it's an option that might be worth exploring?
