Issue #6006 has been updated by Nick Fagerlund.

I may be missing something here. It looks like the yaml terminus expects to be 
deserializing perfectly-formed Puppet::Node objects, which aren't as trivial to 
construct by hand as, e.g., the YAML expected by the exec terminus would be. In 
fact, it... looks like it's basically there to cache stuff retrieved from one 
of the other termini. 

What's the workflow you envision for taking advantage of the yaml terminus? 
(That is, how does the yaml come to exist, how is it managed and edited over 
its lifespan, how does the admin express minor differences between largely 
similar nodes, etc.)

Bug #6006: YAML node terminus for external nodes isn't documented anywhere

We have an awesomely simple and powerful node_terminus for YAML node 
definitions, but we haven't documented it really.

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/indirection.html

We should be documenting it here:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html

with some examples. More people would use this than the exec terminus if they 
knew about it.
