Puppet users - Sep 2007 - changing properties for a collection ?

Is it possible to change a property for a collection.

what i want is to be able to realize a subset of users with different  
properties.


something like this:

	 User <|group == dev|> { ensure => absent }

trying to remove a set of users from a single node, but i don''t want  
to change the users virtual def.
Ive done some searching on the wiki and i can''t tell if this is  
possible or not.

I think we talked about this on IRC, but you can''t modify resources  
returned in one of these queries.

There''s a clean separation between the class defining the resource  
and the class collecting the resource.
