Really, what needs to happen with this is that someone grabs it, checks that it 
actually works with the next major release, and turns it into a formal pull 
request to get it reviewed, as documented in 
http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/tree/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

The last time this was looked at predated my time leading the platform team, 
and it wasn't on the list of "active" tickets at that point, so it dropped from 
sight, unfortunately.  Worse, we are unlikely to get time to look at it 
ourselves - and work out if, for example, the API extension is sufficient to 
meet more than just "install packages in a batch" needs, ensure it doesn't 
violate any ordering constraints, and so forth.

Absent any other action we will absolutely get around to looking at this, but 
it isn't likely to happen on the platform team side any time soon, I fear.

Feature #2198: Install multiple package within a single call to the package 
manager
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2198#change-55246

Author: Stéphan Gorget
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nick Lewis
Category: transactions
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.0
Keywords: communitypatch
Branch: 
http://github.com/phantez/puppet/commit/51ff88c950c172e6060ae63c1c71968e7898b462


During the configuration applying process the package manager is called for 
each package installation.
It is possible to reduce the number of calls to the package manager by 
gathering package installation and delayed some package installation.
Naturally, this modification should not break the dependency graph.
