Issue #15735 has been updated by Aleksey Zhukov.

Did I get it right, that the problem is not with `kick` but with `listener` 
part, and the problem is having a network server in a privileged process and 
exposing a whole `Puppet::Network::HTTP::WEBrickREST` just to serve the `run` 
indirection? Insecure, has some overhead but doesn't look like a terrible hack 
to me. Or there are other issues with that?

As for MCollective - it has much worse overhead, mostly cognitive one - you 
have to grok it and deploy. A tiny DYI server that'd send HUP on authenticated 
request or maybe even a xinetd or, possibly, knockd could replace `kick`, 
without a hassle of having MCollective deployment just to trigger Puppet agents.

Bug #15735: Deprecate 'puppet kick' run mode
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15735#change-101375

* Author: eric sorenson
* Status: Re-opened
* Priority: High
* Assignee: eric sorenson
* Category: agent
* Target version: 3.x
* Affected Puppet version: 
* Keywords: telly_deprecation
* Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1129
----------------------------------------
People interested in `puppet kick` functionality should set up mcollective. 
Supporting it causes problems like #10418. Let's consider removing it for Telly.
