Similar to the major additions in Puppet 4, we’re trying to provide as much early warning as possible so that adjustments can be made as needed when you’re working on your code base. In this situation, the intent is to provide warnings when those words are used with Puppet 3.8.2 —parser=future. Unfortunately, you’ve encountered a bug that will be addressed promptly. Sorry about that. As for the reason, we’re spending some time thinking about how to model multi-node configurations. Though we’re a couple of months away from concrete details, we know enough to begin to signal the reservation of new keywords. A few of the ideas have been expressed by Luke Kanies in PRFC-6 and David Lutterkort in a talk he gave at CfgMgmtCamp’15.
