Description

Luke just said (in training) that the scheduling should work in the standalone Puppet. It doesn't (at least in the official 'master' branch). He said he wants to fix that.

I honestly think this isn't something that needs to be fixed.

In order to do scheduling, standalone puppet will need to maintain state between invocations. I think this could lead to problems with stale state causing unexpected behavior. It seems to me that the standalone interpreter comes with an unwritten assumption of a clean state. IF so, the best resolution of this ticket would be to make that behavior 'official' and perhaps explicit in the documentation.
