Hear hear. I take that one further - cfengine is good at convergence, but that is only half the problem space (generating configs is the other half) and then there are problems which neither are suitable for. (Alva Couch's behavioral agent closures show promise here) I'm at LISA [ http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa04/ ] this week largely for the purpose of participating in the ongoing development of this area of research. Last year was pretty exciting in this regard - radmind, isconf, psgconf, agent closures, LCFG+SmartFrog - so we'll see what this year brings.
