Here's a good first way to implement handoff. What's particularly
elegant about handoff here, is that this is the first form of it I know,
where handoff happens between a provisioning tool and a configuration
management tool and those are the same tool! As a result, this can allow
for some really elegant integration, and the end-user never has to deal
with the combinatorial explosion of the N * M scenario of gluing each
provisioning tool to each different configuration management tool.
We'll have other forms of handoff in the future, but this simple
approach is useful already.
