what version of cfengine ? because there is cfengine 2, not maintained
AFAIK, and cfengine 3, that none of us know.

Having to use cfengine 2 on zarb and mdv, and puppet on my own server, I
would say I prefer puppet.

Puppet community seems more alive, and favors a modular approach. I also
think it is easier to extend and understand ( both use a dsl, but I
found it as easier to understand puppet dsl than cfengine one ).

Guillomovitch proposed we switch to puppet, but I do not exactly know
the reason.

On the other hand, we already have part of the configuration from mdv in
cfengine, which is a important point too.
