I couldn't agree more with Tim.
A number of months ago I needed to be able to define a class based upon the
model of h/w for Sun hosts. No problem as I added the code to the CFEngine src
(which allowed me to use the functionality that day) and submitted a patch
which was included in the next version (which allowed everybody else to use the
functionality).
Being able to have choice is what I call service.

Hi there,
Did somebody here used, or tried "cfengine competitors" like Sun N1 [1] or
Veritas OpForce [2] ?
What is the best way to make my boss decide to use cfengine instead of
these softwares (except that
cfengine is a free software) ?
In addition to the great points others have made, I'd come at it from
the point of view it's open source, so if you really need some feature, you
can make it yourself (or pay someone to do that). If it's proprietary, the
vendor can tell you "No-one (except you) needs that; go jump".
