Doesnt feel right to me. The mount type doesnt describe the device, the
title describes a mountpoint. So I read something like
mount { '/foo': ensure => unmounted } as »there is nothing mounted on
/foo«. And to me it sounds like you're reading the mounttype more like a
description of the device and more like

mount { '/dev/foo': mountpoint => '/foo', ensure =>unmounted}

I mean if I specify file {'/foo': content => 'foo', ensure => absent }
and puppet only finds a file called '/foo' with content 'bar' it doesnt
report absent (= in sync). Yes there is no file with content 'foo' but
the file is still there.

So at least to me the new behaviour is not what I would normally expect.
