Issue #12335 has been updated by Pieter van de Bruggen.

Nigel,

Issue #12663 has been filed about making the version of a loaded Face more 
accessible.

After much discussion, we're convinced that `--version` is clearly the best way 
to interrogate a version (both for Puppet itself and for individual Faces), but 
`--version <constraint>` is also the clearest way to specify the version of 
something you want installed (e.g. through the module tool).  UX has decided 
that the module tool should be overloading the `--version` option.

Bug #12335: Face based commands don't support `--version`
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12335#change-54887

Author: Daniel Pittman
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal

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.
