Issue #6788 has been updated by Garrett Honeycutt.

Assignee deleted (Nigel Kersten)

Puppet Enterprise is by definition a **supported** product. I would strongly 
urge that we do not endeavor to add platforms to PE without them being 
supported, no matter how trivial that process is. By doing so we undermine the 
purpose of PE.

That said, I do believe that we should support Amazon's Linux distro as 
supporting EC2 is critical to our success.


Pro's and Con's of support:

Pro:
<pre>
* Support EC2 with the standard images that Amazon provides
* show our commitment to the cloud
</pre>

Con:
<pre>
* With every platform that we support, complexity and amount of work for each 
PE release increases, largely due to testing
</pre>
