That's certainly one approach.  The downside of tight integration between 
Puppet and Cobbler, though, is that integration with other operating systems 
would not be straightforward (Cobbler is designed for RH-based systems only).  
Probably a better approach is to have an abstraction layer for building from 
bare metal and then use Cobbler to instantiate for RH-based platforms.  The 
other direction would work, too, though: i.e., extend Cobbler to be 
multi-platform.  I don't know of that products direction, however.

It would be helpful if Puppet had a way to manage the installation from bare 
metal and did not depend on a 'stem-cell OS image'.  That would let Puppet be 
in charge of the entire process.
