[chef] Re: CHEF-3580: Do you keep node artifacts in source control?

[Mike < >]

I have never even thought of storing nodes in source control.
I don't know what the value would be, especially since as your code
evolves, you may create new attributes and then your node artifacts
would be out of sync with the ones your code creates.

I'm guessing by the lack of response to this message, not too many
others are doing this either? It seems like there might be a use case
for it, but I haven't thought of one yet.
