thinking more about it, the *ExtraConfig interfaces also offer a simple 
mechanism to *override* any hiera setting we push via the templates ... 
which isn't easy to achieve with roles

a simple short-term solution could be to merge ExtraConfig in the $role 
mapped_data, thoughts?

while to move in a more container-aware condition we could probably have 
some $serviceExtraConfig param mapped into each service?
