Well, we have an Apache/Tomcat setup which serves 50+ sites total, a
part of which is production and the other testing. Right now we have
tools on Apache which handles upgrades for one particular site. What
we want to do is having puppet manage all this instead.

We have trouble enough writing the modules to begin with and I admit I
have never looked at MCollective, though I do know the name :p
