Hey,

i would like to discuss the idea of handler orders, because working with a lot of rules could be difficult (+handler definition order).

example:

- role1

- create share on windows host (notify: remove share)

- role2

- mount share (notify: unmount share)

- create temp directory (notify: remove temp directory)

- handler execution (current v1)

- remove share

- remove temp directory

- unmount share- handler execution (current v2, switch 2+3, because of handler order within role)

- remove share

- unmount share

- remove temp directory

- handler execution ( **future** )

- remove temp directory

- unmount share

- remove share

Feedback appreciated:

maybe this will get into 2.2?
