I can explain from the conversation in which the UX direction was established.

UX have declared that is an uninteresting case, and that it is being abandoned. 
 Users should use either `puppet --version`, or `puppet version` instead.

Bug #12335: Face based commands don't support `--version`
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12335#change-54724

Author: Daniel Pittman
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: usability
Target version: 2.7.11
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Apparently, when building the wrappers that make Faces available as 
subcommands, we neglected to implement the `--version` option, so:

<pre>
⚡ puppet --version
2.7.10
⚡ puppet agent --version
2.7.10
⚡ puppet node --version
err: 'node' has no default action.  See `puppet help node`.
</pre>

We should remedy that, since it is a quite strange UI divergence.
