Puppet should not provide such a parameter, because it invites users to misconfigure their systems (by using the proposed parameter as a workaround). Services' configuration and the system tools should control services' runtime parameters, including their SELinux context. Otherwise, the service cannot be started properly during system initialization, and it can easily be (re)started incorrectly during manual administration.
