I made a few changes here so it is just logging on the master, but I do see your point (it will also help with some multiuser stuff I have in the works)
the big thing is that the minion can't assume that data is available, I will accept the addition to the publisher so long as the refs to it on the minion get skipped if the data is not present.
Does this sound ok? I would also like it if we could omit the user data from the publication itself if the user executing is root or the same user salt is running as - since that data would be a wash anyway.
