For what it's worth this is my opinion on this front.  Testing stuff like
this is the job of the CI environment and testing frameworks and I don't
think there's any special need to provide features within Puppet to make it
easier.  After all what I really want to be able to test is "Does my set of
modules work with X version of Puppet" and in the future that'll be the job
of "beaker"(aka puppet-acceptance), rspec-system, jenkins, or other testing
framework.
