Issue #15738 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Assignee changed from Nigel Kersten to Andrew  Parker

The idea was that extensions should only be loaded from a strict location, i.e. 
(and this is off the top of my head, I may have some errors here...)

  * the type 'foo' would only be loaded from lib/puppet/types/foo.rb
  * the provider 'baz' for the type 'foo' would only be loaded from 
lib/puppet/providers/foo/baz.rb
  * the function 'quux' would only be loaded from 
lib/puppet/parser/functions/quux.rb

Now there are some complications here when it comes to facts, as we have a 
number of dynamically generated facts, where there cannot be a strict mapping 
between the fact name and the Ruby file that defines them.

I don't believe we have the same problem with types, providers and functions, 
but I could be wrong there.

Andy, was that the general idea?

Nigel -- This needs some detail, I thought I understood this during the 
deprecation brainstorming but couldn't articulate it when taking down notes so 
it clearly didn't stick.
