This is one of the weird things about puppet. The core of puppet has general types, and software-specific stuff is in modules... except for Nagios rules, which are core types. Struck me as odd that only Nagios gets this 'star' treatment in the core.

Puppet is almost entirely composed from weird things, so much so that I'm surprised you're surprised.

rspec-puppet in particular; so much pain.


Another interesting example is that yumrepo is a core type, but apt::source has to be managed via a module
