Issue #4732 has been updated by Markus Roberts.

Setting the target on a "Needs Design Decision" ticket sort of begs the 
question. 

The possible answers I have heard are:

1. This is correct, though possibly confusing behavior and should be documented
2. We should assume everything is puppet code unless it matches *.rb
3. As 2, but we should warn on "questionable" extensions such as .json, .htm, 
etc. (we'll need a list)
4. We should determine the type by inspection, not by the extension
5. We should assume type as in 2 but fall back to the other on failure

Of these, only the first two are reasonably implementable for 2.6.1, and I 
slightly favour 2.

Bug #4732: Use of .pp/.rb extention to sniff file type breaks "everything is 
pp" assumption

This fix breaks/improves import so that it will now only import files named .pp 
or .rb where in the past it would happily have imported anything matching the 
supplied glob:

<pre>
import "/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/*"
</pre>

This now only imports .pp and .rb not * as it’s asked to do.
