that's exactly the use case for __addifnosuchline in cdist.
The type let's you do what you want to do right now, fast and
simple. That's what a feature I've always missed in puppet.

If at any time in the future, I begin to add more and more lines
to the same file, I definitely should refacter and create a type
that handles managing this important file.

For me it's mostly a "take the right tool for the right job" selection here.

Cheers,

Nico
