How would you define a problematic argument? I mean this could be seen as a 
HUGE security risk, imagine you give someone non root shell level access to a 
server and access to mcollective.  Safe right?  Nope, cos they can start 
puppetd as root via mcollective passing into it a custom manifest dir where 
they can run any .pp files it finds in random directories.

The work to determine whats safe and not would be epic, every config option in 
puppet.conf is also a command line option and these change frequently as puppet 
add more features, we'd forever be playing catchup.

It really is the same concerns I have with a plugin that can run random shell 
commands, just not the mcollective way of doing things.
