user password and tags always being applied even if there were no actual changes in pillar

[kirill-aga]

I've got following section in my pillar (there is nothing else related to rabbitmq):

  rabbitmq:
  enabled: True
  running: True
  vhost:
    vh_name: 'rcce_vhost'
  user:
    rcce_rabbit:
      - password: '*my*secure*password*'
      - force: True
      - tags: monitoring, user
      - perms:
        - '/':
          - '.*'
          - '.*'
          - '.*'

state file for the minion uses the rabbitmq-formula only once, calling 'main' state. Issuing 'state.apply' command brings every time the same message as if the new user has been created, despite no actual changes in pillar:

          ID: rabbitmq_user_rcce_rabbit
    Function: rabbitmq_user.present
        Name: rcce_rabbit
      Result: True
     Comment: 'rcce_rabbit' was configured.

                  new:
                      Set password.

                      - monitoring,
                      - user
                  old:
                      - monitoring
                      - user

Afaik the problem is in rabbitmq tools not allowing this information to be queried to avoid re-applying it. The salt module then has no choice but to apply your state over and over again. This is extremely annoying for this kind of automation but this needs some discussion with upstream I guess.
