Puppet users - May 2014 - puppetlabs-mysql - question about automated backup script mysqlbackup.sh

Hi,

I'm using module puppetlabs-mysql and its automated backup script creation.

When using:
class { '::mysql::server::backup':
  backupuser     => '<mybackupuser>',
  backuppassword => '<mypwd>,
  file_per_database => true,
  [...]
}

...the script looks like:
===mysql -s -r -N -e 'SHOW DATABASES' | while read dbname
do
  mysqldump -u${USER} -p${PASS} --opt --flush-logs --single-transaction \
    ${EVENTS} \
    ${dbname} | bzcat -zc > ${DIR}/${PREFIX}${dbname}_`date 
+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`.sql.bz2
done

if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    cleanup
fi
===
So,
- mysqldump will use the credentials given to ::mysql::server::backup
- mysql won't use these credentials, so will fallback to settings from 
/root/.my.cnf

Why not using the same credentials for both ?
