went in as "puppet3" or something, and left the stable version as is,

My biggest concern is that 2.6 will not get security updates for the
lifetime of EPEL 5 and 6. To me it seems better to bite the bullet
now, get version 3 into updates-testing, set the karma requirement
very high just as the maintainers did for the 0.25 -> 2.6 transition.
This is the main problem I see with parallel-installable packages,
particularly in EPEL - it seems to give users an assumption that the
old packages are fine.
