kitchenplan updates homebrew, doesn't upgrade

[Spaceghost]

I've been really loving kitchenplan over the last few months. I found it when looking for ways to provision my new macbook.

However, one thing confuses me. Why does kitchenplan update but not upgrade homebrew? I would think it would either do both or neither, since I'm not personally aware of any benefit to updating homebrew other than possibly getting fixes for homebrew itself. Is that why? Would it be unreasonable to want the ability to have kitchenplan upgrade as well?

We run a brew update to get the latest formula's.
The package provider has a upgrade option and also a install option.

The philosophy is that the easy automated installs do as little as possible to install a new system and upgrading packages might break stuff (recently they upgraded varnish from 3 to 4 and 4 uses a completely different config file).

Everything that is "different" happens usually in recipes where you can do whatever you want (cfr upgrading stuff), you can even use the same code snipped from https://github.com/kitchenplan/chef-homebrewalt/blob/master/recipes/default.rb#L73 in a recipe yet call the upgrade option if you wish to make it as integrated as possible.

In this case, if you want to submit a pull request that adds upgrade to https://github.com/kitchenplan/chef-homebrewalt/blob/master/recipes/default.rb#L73 if a certain attribute is set (so it won't break bc behaviour) i would gladly accept it
