I'd be fine with granting this an exception, if we limited the scope
of the change allowed.  In particular, rather than directly editing
Freemedia-form.html and adding/removing dozends of lines each time, a
1-line change in init.pp could accomplish the same thing, publishing
either the 'open' or 'closed' page as necessary.  Then such a change
hitting the puppet master tree would be very limited and clearly
couldn't break other things.
