[Andrew Bogott <abogott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it's worth:  I've re-worked my original proposal to describe 
generic package management.  I believe this plan will still suit my 
specific Puppet aims but is more clearly tool-agnostic (it should work 
with Chef as well; I welcome suggestions about data format to support 
other tools.)

And, again, please keep in mind that this design is meant to address 
/what/ is installed on an instance, not /how/ it gets there.  Obviously 
'how' is the interesting part, but I suspect there's too much diversity 
of usage for any general solution there.
