I've looked on the mailing lists and don't see any community discussion or announcement of what is (to me) a major course change in significant Puppet features, the deprecation of the existing Ruby DSL (expected) and the decision to not replace it with the new one (not expected): https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18876
Maybe I'm the only one who was looking forward to this, but this has me pretty disappointed and somewhat concerned that this means a long-term limitation of the sophistication and expressiveness available to modules. The ticket has an update by Andrew Parker indicating that Puppet language is going to be worked on to address the shortcomings which might cause someone to need to use the Ruby DSL. That's great news, I suppose, but there is no indication of what Puppet Labs thinks those features are or when we might see them and the new Ruby DSL felt "right around the corner". Does anyone from PL want to comment? Personally, I'd love to see a "When the Puppet DSL has these things fixed / enhanced, we think it will be all you ever need" list.
