[chef-dev] Re: CHEF-2988 allowed_recipes, restricted_recipes, and override_recipes

It's too agile. Toolst must be clean and easy to remember for end-users.

I suppose that we need working simple "--noop" option (must have one) instead of three unusable ones.

Let's talk about this patch and what the design gives us versus what
it locks us into.

-----------
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2988 - Run List Modifiers

Provides three new options to modify run lists:

--allowed-recipes: Restricts what recipes are allowed in the run list
to only those provided. This restriction is not applied to recipe
dependencies.
--restricted-recipes: Restricts provided recipes from running. If a
restricted recipe is a dependency of another recipe, neither are
allowed to run.
--override-runlist: Replaces the current run list with provided run
list. This override is only applied for the current run.
