[chef] Re: RE: Re: override argument

No, it is not amenable for general use. The biggest issue that override mode 
disables saving the node data back up to the server. This is done to avoid 
polluting the data on the server as not all recipes were executed, which 
might disrupt node searches and such. If you want to make conditional 
recipes, you can do that with something like:

  return if node['skip_foo']

at the top of the recipe file.
