Hi Greg, That helps heaps!
I'm curious as to why the "production" 1.12 machine which uses a remote puppet CA, puppet Compile Master and DB didn't already have a dependency on "deface". I guess maybe the foreman_setup plugin doesn't use it. Anyway, I'm now furiously trying to learn ruby so I can understand the example plugin and the "column_view" plugin you referenced.
