[Casper] Making policies sequential.

[Cyrus Vahhaji]

Not sure if this will help but I¹ll pass this along any way. At one point I
had a need to run multiple policies in a particular order. To do so I relied
on naming convention used for policy names (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) and how each
policy was triggered.

Huh.. I dunno.  I was concerned with duplicating work as some of the
machines were already done.  But the overhead of re-doing a handful of
systems is nothing compared to knowing they all get touched...
