Within a RHEL/EPEL-6 release, if the puppet package goes from 2.x to 3.x, that will break people's systems when they do a yum update. Between RHEL/EPEL-6 and RHEL/EPEL-7, people will have to do a fresh install of their hardware. At that time, they'll find out that puppet in EPEL7 is puppet-3.x and if they need to use puppet-2.x to work with their old puppetmaster they'll need to use a puppet2 package (provided that EPEL7 provides one of those). -Toshio
