+The Masterfiles Policy Framework (MPF) emits recommendations for various settings given the context and role of a host.
+
+For example, when federated reporting is enabled on an Enterprise hub, there is a recommendation to install gnu-parallel.
+
+```
+R: CFEngine recommends installing gnu parallel on federated reporting superhubs.
+```
+
+These can be useful, but you may want to disable the functionality to quiet your policy runs. This module facilitates disabling all recommendations by defining `default:cfengine_recommendations_disabled`, it is equivalent to editing the augments file (`/var/cfengine/masterfiles/def.json`) to:
+
+```json
+{
+  "classes": {
+    "default:cfengine_recommendations_disabled": {
+      "class_expressions": [ "any::" ],
+      "comment": "We disabled all recommendations emitted by the MPF to quiet policy output."
+    }
