Issue #10146 has been updated by Bostjan Skufca.
Yes, I am aware of that "workaround".
Anyway, there are 2 things to consider here:
1. It renders my (I don't mean to be egocentric here, applies to anyone in the
same situation) whole module catalog useless if I upgrade to puppet 2.7.x.
2. It is much less readable: "${variable1}-${variable2}" vs
"$variable1-$variable2". This also aligns with how programming languages/shells
parse mentioned statements (end result is the same).
In order to speed up upgrade rate (which is probably your desire, because
results in less support for old versions) I believe you should fix this one
ASAP.

Bug #10146: Puppet interpolates variables differently in 2.7.x
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10146
Author: Philip Gardner
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee:
Category: language
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.5

Branch:
I'm not sure when this changed, but I recently upgraded from 2.6.7 to 2.7.5.
Given: file { "/usr/local/$lsbdistid-$architecture": ensure => directory }
In 2.6.7 the following would generate a directory name called
"/usr/local/CentOS-x86_64":
However, in 2.7.5, this now creates a directory called "/usr/local/-x86_64"
If you escape the variables, the resource is created correctly, however this
wasn't clear until I jumped on IRC.
