When automating configuration management, templating a file instead of conditionally installing/removing configuration snippets is: 1) less performant because you can't just check mtime of the expanded template vs. the source file to figure out whether to expand it again, which affects practical frequency of configuration runs 2) couples logic from unrelated configuration modules, making working on different configuration with different people more difficult I really wish we had /etc/fstab.d/ :) > I especially object to it being done on a 1 of case, either completly s= plit > the file or make it 1 file, but making it this miss match is just addin= g to > the work load of ansible and puppet task writting.
