Okay, I totally did see this in the release notes but I read it that you 
weren't allowing certificates with IP addresses in them, not that you wouldn't 
allow IP authentication in auth.conf at all.  

Jul 17 14:52:46 sj2-puppet puppet-master[13998]: Authentication based on IP 
address is deprecated; please use certname-based rules instead

I don't feel that it is reasonable to expect that every puppet customer match 
up their naming scheme to their IP blocks, nor to want to list every possible 
naming scheme in their authorization list when an IP bitmask will do the job 
much more simply.

I don't mind or care about IPs in certificates--I've never seen this, and don't 
expect to. But disallowing IP-based authentication is going to be very 
difficult at many sites, and possibly allow things which were never intended. 
Please reconsider this.
