I think this is a huge benefit.  If we can start asking our systems: "Okay,
what files are currently unmanaged in /etc?" or "What packages are installed
that aren't managed or depend on something that's managed?", I think that's a
big win.

I'd love to be able to know what's unmanaged on my systems, so I can either
bring it into management, or tell Puppet to ignore it.

Cheers,
