While you can't force all the forge modules to be updated, I highly suggest
setting up rspec-puppet on your controlrepo. You'll find the modules that
don't support future parser with 3, or 4 in general, and file tickets with
the module authors. I had to do that for a number of modules I use
(ajjahn/dhcp and stahnma/epel ring a bell) and I found the authors are
generally receptive. If they're not, then it might be a good indicator that
you shouldn't be relying on that module; find another or fork it if the
license allows you to.

Heck, maybe some module authors are watching this thread and are seeing the
demand for supporting Puppet 4 :)
