Message:
Had a dicussion in yesterday's xCAT team meeting, we decided to continue
allowing chdef create new object definitions. But we will change the
message to explicitly indicate whether the object definitions are created
or modified. For now, the message is a little bit vague: "Object
definitions have been created or modified".
