Issue #12930 has been updated by Tim Sharpe.
I love the idea of Puppet loading everything under a specified node_dir. I say
everything and not autoload as we currently (ab)?use this functionality via
"import 'nodes/*.pp'" in order to instantiate a bunch of virtual resources
outside our node definitions for things like per node PXE configs which our PXE
server then realises. Our typical ${fqdn}.pp looks something like this:
<pre>
@pxe::client { 'testhost.example.com':
mac => '01:23:45:67:89:AB',
os => 'squeeze',
}
node 'testhost.example.com' {
# ...
}
</pre>

Feature #12930: Provide a manifest directory where all manifests are
automatically parsed.

There is at least one major use case where users need to import a set of
manifest files, the following pattern:
<pre>
# manifests/site.pp
import nodes/*.pp
</pre>
As per the parent ticket, we're looking to deprecate `import`, and the most
obvious solution appears to be to offer a configuration option for a directory
where all manifest files are automatically parsed, much like site.pp is now.
This option *does* need to be per-environment.
Randall, I'm looking for input from your team on the user-facing design here,
and if this solution is appropriate, tactical info like the actual name of the
configuration parameter.
