Even later to the party, but I agree :) The alternative of a contrib
directory could muddy the waters so that there were 3 locations a given
type/provider could land (core/contrib/module), when the current 2
locations (core/module) suffice. Easy to imagine extra bike-shedding on
where something lands and/or the contrib directory becoming a failed
experiment wasteland.

However, one question I have about shipping modules with puppet as
discussed in this thread: are people thinking this means modules
pre-installed in /usr/share/puppet/modules, or that the packaging step
would merge/patch the tier2 modules into puppet proper?

If the former, is that overly disruptive to sites that specify modulepath?
If the latter, does that complicate sites that want to upgrade one of the
packaged-in modules using pmt? I haven't thought this through, so there may
be a perfectly simple answer.
