Nothing, but incase I wanted to exclude them.

I have a bunch of machines with the role, but I don't want to run something on every single machine.  Take for instance I have a bunch of web servers and I needed to delete something on every one except web03 and web05.  If I have 20 odd machines doing knife ssh –m "web01 web02 web04 web06 web07…web20" "rm ~/somefile" that would annoying right? Knife ssh "role:web –exclude web03 web05" "rm ~/somefile" would be so much better?

Thoughts?

If the machines are actually different for some reason, then presumably there should be a difference in the searchable data, so you can just modify your search query to look for a particular attribute value that distinguishes them.
