I use Salt environments to provide each of my team mates the ability to develop
and test their Salt changes. And I've found that when we run this formula from
our environments against our salt-master, comments in some files change. For us
this represents an unwanted and unplanned change. I understand the intention -
to identify how or why the file changed, but I firmly believe that we should
be able to run highstsate with test=True and only see intended changes. Here's
an example:
ID: salt-cloud-providers
Function: file.recurse
Name: /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d
Result: None
Comment: #### /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/saltify.conf ####
The file /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/saltify.conf is set to be changed

As discussed in PR#305, these are defaults that even if they are
configurable as probably not suited to a majority of users and causes
delete/add output on highstate of user of the formula choses to use
the same file name.
