Issue #5049 has been updated by Matt Moran.

I see it as a possible way to control what actions go out to which nodes.  I 
may have stages OS and Application.  I have Puppet running in daemon polling 
every day for stages OS, but for Application stages I use a remote execution 
service such as mcollective, remote ssh, or Func.  I can selectively call 
puppet on a group of nodes and apply just the Application stage.

The application stage may have external node variables that would cause a 
change to occur if the values were modified (including accidental), if the 
application stage is controlled outside of the daemon (poll period) then there 
is some protection here when the application stage is invoked manually or with 
remote ssh etc.

If there is already a better way to do this i'll be interested to know.

Feature #5049: puppet agent to be able to apply specified run stage

With the new run stages Feature #2658

I think it would be cool to be able to run puppet agent for specific stages.  
This way different levels of Puppet code could be deployed at different 
intervals and frequency.

Something like:
puppet agent run-stages=Network,OS

I'd expect low level stages to handle this, and higher level stages to auto 
include lower level stages if left unspecified.

class { foo: stage => pre }
stage { pre: before => Stage[main] }

puppet agent run-stages=foo - works
puppet agent run-stages=main - works and auto includes foo
