Except, of course, that a sysadmin who doesn't know this is not a sysadmin. And someone who tries installing the same package across different operating systems is going to be in for a shock when it turns out that they have the same name for different versions, or different names for the same version, or completely different ways of configuring it.<p>This looks neat, but I don't see anything that says they have learned lessons from puppet, bcfg2 and cfengine.
