Good point.

Here's what's currently in master:
bin/filebucket      => puppet filebucket
bin/pi              => puppet pi
bin/puppetdoc       => puppet doc
sbin/puppetca       => puppet ca

As others have mentioned, maybe 'cert' or 'ssl' would make sense here.

sbin/puppetmasterd  => puppet server
sbin/puppetrun      => puppet run
bin/puppet          => puppet main
bin/ralsh           => puppet resource
sbin/puppetd        => puppet agent
sbin/puppetqd       => puppet queue

Here's my commentary:
bin/pi              => puppet pi (what does "i" stand for, anyway?)

I'm not sure this even needs to exist any more - it's not much different than 'doc'. Maybe 'doc' should be 'reference' and 'pi' should be doc?

sbin/puppetmasterd => puppet server (I'd rather keep the "master" jargon)

I'm comfortable with that. It's true that it gets confusing since the agent can be a server, in the tcp/ip sense.

bin/puppet => puppet main (doesn't seem very main to me. "exec"? "do"?)

Maybe apply?  I'm not so fond of exec.

sbin/puppetd => puppet agent (is "agent" the jargon we use in training? I can't remember)

I use 'agent' everywhere possible, and I think it makes as much sense as anything else.

'queue' is a bit suspect, too - it actually processes a queue, rather than functions as one. 'processor'? 'dequeue'? None of those are good.

I'm not so fond of filebucket, either - maybe 'content'?
