This may be true, however, if we know our actions are going to cause 
(potentially serious) problems for a subset of our users, then it is certainly 
worth investigating the possibility of changing our own behavior.

Please do not take this down-vote to mean we will not investigate or consider 
alternative Puppet release strategies, and please upvote if you were negatively 
affected even if you are not using version pinning.

Bug #16729: Puppet v3 and Puppet v2.7 should have different names for 
distributions on the PuppetLabs repo

I work for a small company that is not yet ready to upgrade Puppet to v3.

This upgrade may or may not cause problems for us (especially since we use a 
masterless network), but the upgrade will require us to devote time to test the 
upgrade.

It would be much better if there were separate names for the distributions, 
say, puppet2. Users who want to delay upgrades can install puppet2 and use that 
until they are ready.
