1. The parameter must be disabled (false) by default.

      1. This is intended to permit backwards compatibility between SIMP versions if they require mutually exclusive logic.
      2. QUESTION: what is the benefit of these files over the ::params pattern?

         2. it separates SIMP-specific settings from the rest of the module.
3. The parameter must allow for an ENC or Hiera or straight parameter, since we want maximum module uptake where possible.

   1. This will look something like the following

      $simp$manage_firewall = defined('$::simpmanage_firewall') ? { true => $::simpmanage_firewall, default :=> hiera('simpmanage_firewall',falsetrue) }

      Translation:

          $variable => { <if set> => <use global/ENV variable>, <otherwise> => <use what's in Hiera or default to true> }

       

      1. QUESTION: Should we make this defined->hiera->default logic a function in simplib?
      2. ANSWER: Yeah, probably. How about.....simp_def('variable','default')
