Please see my reply to Alec for more details. |

An additional argument I would like to add based on your reply: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
We already have package.env mechanism to override stuff. ACCT_USER_$foo |
| 13 |
would introduce an additional way. I wouldn't create an additional way |
| 14 |
for consistency. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But don't get me wrong here. I am just asking and I am always for KISS. |
| 17 |
ACCT_USER_$foo support would create some additional headaches which we |
| 18 |
could avoid from my POV. But I am probably not going to use the override |
| 19 |
feature like I prefer doing stuff like that in configuration management |
| 20 |
tool which would create these users for me exactly the way I want it. |
| 21 |
And it doesn't matter if I apply the role to a Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu or |
| 22 |
RHEL box... ;) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So I am not blocking ACCT_USER_$foo if anyone really believe it would |
| 25 |
help them. |
