more _because_ the the agent doesn't use them. if the agent does use a complex 
agent-specific plugin (by which i mean "a type, provider, or fact that has 
`require /some/other/pluginsynced/module` in its code") this will work better 
than 2.7 because plugins are lazy-loaded, not loaded as soon as they are 
downloaded (that require could fail before if the required file had not yet 
been downloaded)

Sure: as a gem, with #7788. Any OS package that installs them alongside the 
regular ruby code (though to be fair this is not well-documented). 
----------------------------------------
Bug #7316: puppet face applications (subcommands) delivered via pluginsync and 
as modules should work
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7316#change-71078

Author: Dan Bode
Status: Closed
Priority: Urgent
Assignee: eric sorenson
Category: Faces
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: face faces subcommand application module plugin pluginsync
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/571


If you deliver a new face that consists of:

  * application
  * face
  * action for face


via pluginsync, then the application isn't actually found, and worse, it taunts 
you by showing it to you in the list of available subcommands.
