Something I heard at the Summit was that folks are thinking of deprecating environment run lists.

An old ticket related to this topic:

https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3441

I recommend you read the comments below. It seems that it would not be

I started the implementation of this some time ago. It's actually quite
simple. But I didn't continue with it because it seemed that there was
no interest.
