I don't mean to intrude, but i thought the idea was to have a quick solution ( 
that's why a framework would be best).

if this needs to be built and tested and configured in puppet; perhaps we 
should not use this sort of framework. because the installation and discussion 
between teams takes too much time to begin with, imho.

We can always do it properly later. but i think we need a quick solution. 
perhaps something that is already installed like Catalyst or that other 
framework.
