The main points of discussion were around allowing .NET developers to integrate easily with custom providers and types, and to enable reuse of existing management libraries available through .NET. It also could potentially lower the barrier to entry as IIRC silverlight ships with IronRuby. The initial efforts have been on the MRI on win32, and that'll probably continue as it's more expedient, but I personally think that puppet running on IronRuby is worth spending some time looking at, similarly to Brice's work on JRuby.
