ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain/node-scope variables

Syntax Tips

Node-level variables are a little squirrely in Puppet.

• In a node declaration, specify all variables before including any classes.
• When using a node-level variable, use it unqualified, not with a :: prefix or any namespaces, e.g., $extra_root_keys.
