Especially the Chef maintained cookbooks
This is not the current state of things
This leads to sadness
We must repair it
People copy patterns
The status quo cannot be allowed to continue
Common pain points https://www.flickr.com/photos/kwl/4595324641
Platform and version support
Weak scoping
No standard interface
Compilation phase work
Needing chef-rewind
Attributes and precedence
Pattern proliferation

Resource data isolation
None
