 ### Features
 
-Stuff that should probably be included in every configuration management,
+ * Elegant code and clean design
-but is not. Or: Why I began to write cdist:
+  * Type and core cleanly seperated
-
+  * Small codebase in core
- * Speed
- * Elegant code
- * Clean design
  * Good documentation (man pages)
- * Meaningful error messages
- * The no surprise factor
  * Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
+ * Meaningful error messages
+  * Either standard error messages from tools or added description for clearification
+ * The no surprise factor
+  * No magic guessing of what the user wants
+ * Simple and well-known DSL
+  * Posix shell
  * Easy integration into bare metal installations
- * Simple and well-known DSL: posix shell
+  * requires only ssh + sh
- * It must be very easy to extend and debug cdist
+ * Easy upgrade
- * Focus on reuse of existing functionality (like sh, ssh, find, rm, ...)
+  * ***There is no need to update cdist on target hosts!***
- * Easy upgrade: ***There is no need to update cdist on target hosts!***
+  * cdist only needs to be updated on the master server(s)
-  * cdist only needs to be update on the master server
+ * Very easy to extend
+  * Can be done via types, which can be stacked on top of others
+ * Reuse of existing functionality
+  * sh, ssh, find, rm, mv, ...
+ * Very easy to debug
+  * Just add set -x in the scripts

+Cache:

 Core:
    - support $__self = relative_type/object_id
-   - cache
-
-Cache:
-   Assume you want to configure stuff one host ("monitor node"),
-   depending on the configuration of other hosts ("cluster nodes").
-
-   For instance, the monitor host would like to know,
-   which hosts are configured with the provider
-   "apache" and option --start true.
-
-   This requires the monitor node to be able to
-   query all other configured nodes. It can't
-   ask for all hosts, because cdist does not
-   know which hosts are configured or may exist.
-
-   Example implementation
-
-   If cdist keeps ("caches") the configuration of every
-   node it configures, each new node can query the
-   cache for existing nodes that acquired the given
-   configuration.
