Yes, that makes sense. The info pages state:

`DefineClasses "CLASS1:CLASS2:..."'
     Activate the following colon, comma or dot-separated list of
     classes if and only if the file is edited.

Cool, I didn't know that worked. It does exactly what the docs said
it would do. Namely define RestartNis if the file was edited by
Cfengine.
