In general, I prefer to get more information than I need rather than less.
Its much easier to prune excess information than find out missing info.
In this specific case, you can dig out the major version from the full version
string using the regsubst() function in the upcoming 0.24.8 Puppet:
$osmajorversion = regsubst($operatingsystemrelease, '^(\d+)\..*', '\1')
$osminorversion = regsubst($operatingsystemrelease, '^\d+\.(\d+)\..*',
'\1')
