Compile time modification is a hack that should very much be discouraged.

I'd rather see something akin to "run stages" where you could force
the convergence of a recipe before the compile phase of another.

+1

If a single chef run could be multiple stages, where each stage was a runlist and each stage compiled and converged before the next stage,  this would make my life a lot easier. For bonus points you could make it possible to run stages individually and suddenly application deploys would be much easier in chef.
