I think it's a perfectly fine idea to encourage users to provide all needed dependencies, and moreso if Puppet can help users figure out what those may be. I accept the premise that most users miss dependencies required to ensure a valid order of application (even though their catalogs may be applied successfully anyway), therefore I agree that it would be a good idea to encourage them to provide more dependencies -- as long as the ones they are encouraged to provide are in fact likely to be needed. I just don't accept simple lack of containment as an adequate criterion for identifying missing dependencies. > If we can agree on that, then maybe we can find a mechanism (which may or > may not involve containment) we can agree on.
