Eric Shamow commented on an issue   Re: Hiera should support alternate environments Jo Rhett I didn't ask for a war of clicks, I asked for data indicating that the problem is not as pervasive as you believe it to be. You have presented me with anecdotal information. I'd appreciate if you'd reach out privately if you have information about customers who are not renewing for this reason so that we can close the loop. Meanwhile with regard to the importance of this ticket - as somebody who has spent a lot of time in the field, the perspective from there is deeply distorted. Field/consulting work provides a perspective on the needs of a self-selected and atypical group of users to begin with. Extending that to field/consulting data collected by one individual and not a team means that what you've got is a some data that has to fit into an overall heat map. In short: not all users use the features you do and you won't care about the features they do. That doesn't mean their needs are less important than yours or vice versa, and it also doesn't mean that the loudest voice gets to shout down a feature request that's critical to our users. What's more, features are not selected for work solely based on pervasiveness OR severity. It's a combination of those questions in addition to helping particular and focused market segments succeed with the product. That means sometimes code you just don't care about it going to get some attention, because a nontrivial number of other people DO care about it. Informal polling of our Pro Services team has found the exact opposite of the data you suggest. I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle. Add Comment   Hiera / HI-46 Hiera should support alternate environments Currently hiera supports one `hiera.yaml` file hardcoded to be in the same location as `puppet.conf` (which is the `config` puppet directive. Having separate `hiera.yaml`'s per puppet environment would go along with having separate `site.pp`'s, modules, etc. per environment.
