All the package providers supplied with Puppet seem to implement or inherit the query method, but as far as we can tell, this isn't used in other parts of the system. Is it required?
Until June 2007, it was in used by the package type (in lib/puppet/type/package.rb) in the exists? and retrieve method, but commit 73502a7 got rid of those (but left a comment mentioning query above the exists? method). We don't want to leave out something people rely on, but we also don't want to do unnecessary cargo-culting.
