Please review pull request #32: Fix chained resource example using both left and right arrows opened by (cwarden)
Description:
In the resource chain:
File['/etc/ntp.conf'] -> Service['ntpd'] <- Package['ntp']
the file and package were described as related to each other, but
that indirect relationship through theh service is not meaningful here.
Stating that they are not directly related to each other makes it
clear why the file may be managed before the package.

Chaining in this manner can provide some succinctness at the cost of
readability.
