Chef

Some attributes (e.g. Ohai's) are effectively immutable and should be read-only, lockable or namespaced.

Description

Ohai system profile attributes are effectively immutable, but are editable via the webUI.

Some attributes in cookbooks may be benefited by the ability be immutable, preventing them from being edited in the webUI.

We need a way to solve this, or to describe the real problem at least.

Chris and I think this will wind up being a separate data structure, which is set up to track various meta-data about attributes, of which read only might be only one. (We're not sure what other use cases there, but hey - it's just ruby, right?)

Moving out of the 0.5.4 release - these are all features or improvements that aren't done a day before release, so they likely aren't making it in this round.

This is resolved in the 0.9-alpha branch. Ohai attributes are now 'automatic' attributes, and have the highest possible precedence. They are also no longer surfaced as editable.
