Now if it could only be abstracted...
I think CFEngine implements two things -- policies and protocols. Policies
are the answers to "what type of system is this?" Protocols are the answers
to "how do I implement a policy?" My question is has anyone given thought to
producing generic protocols for CFEngine that could be used everywhere
(within the assumptions of the protocol)?
