Speaking for my previous job, it would really be unfortunate to have a
non-compatible update of puppet in EPEL. Unless accompanied by very loud
trumpets and fireworks beforehand, the day that update went out would be a
very sad and busy day for a number of sysadmins.
I'm not opposed to putting puppet 3 in, but it'd really be helpful if it
went in as "puppet3" or something, and left the stable version as is,
happily getting security-only updates.
Having a parallel installable package makes sense to me. If it can't be
parallel installed -- perhaps the question of whether to allow conflicts in
epel that was recently raised would be a good thing to look at here as well?
