That's going to be a scary thing to change. Gavin can you use two providers for the same type, and just not set a default, so the user (or a top-level class you inherit from) sets a resource default for the 'provider' metaparameter? If there is code to share between the providers you can use the 'parent' mechanism in the provider api, like the way 'up2date' and 'yum' both use 'rpm' as their parent.
