Description
Impact Data: This request was brought up by a customer in the Boston training session in May. This feature will potentially allow the customer to replace func and use puppet in it’s place.
Problem Statement: Puppetd —tags supports filtering by inclusion but does not support filtering by exclusion. The customer would like to apply everything except certain tags.
Expected Behavior: The —tags option should support logical not through something like —tags !mytag
Actual Behavior: Specifying puppet —tags !mytag results in an “invalid tag” error.

Good idea, but I still think there’s a general “select subset of catalog” option we should be thinking.
