Issue #7123 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Assignee set to Daniel Pittman
Affected Puppet version set to 2.7.0rc1

So, I can't work out what this is intended to do.  It looks like it *might* 
possible be accessible through XML-RPC or something like that, but as far as I 
can tell nothing uses `Puppet::Status`, which this indirects:

 * I can find nothing that creates an instance grepping around.
 * Nothing in the `spec` suite uses it, at all, except the specs for 
`Puppet::Status` themselves.
 * Nothing in the `test` suite uses it at all.

I can easily enough fix this: you can `puppet status find dummy` and get some 
output.  I can totally write a trivial wrapper around the action that does 
something more human-friendly to it and all, if we want, but...

...the output is "I am alive", and the current time.  Zero value.  The REST 
version is no more informative, really, since any status but "I am alive" will 
be, y'know, "I can't connect to the server", as far as I can tell.

I propose the best fix ever: we just delete the code entirely, and run with it. 
 (Specifically, delete the face code, and schedule the rest of it for deletion 
in 2.8 or whatever the release after the 2.7 series is, since it might be used 
in XML-RPC or something.)
