And it's effectively the same as putting them all in one place anyway, 
right? Cfengine coalesces everything into memory figuring out which 
things depend on which other things and then processes it all in the 
way it best sees fit. Or at least that's how it seemed after one 
cfengine debugging session anyway.

This functionality wasn't obvious to me at first, but I really like it. 
It means I can have a cf.sendmail that ensures smmsp is in /etc/group 
and also have a cf.apache that ensures www is in /etc/group. The two 
files don't have any dependancies on each other. I organize the work in 
a human way and cfengine coalesces it into an optimized computer way. 
Right?
