Yes, we've been down that road before, and it produced considerably uproar. As I said then, repository maintainers undertake a responsibility to protect their clients from breaking changes. Ideally, users should take care to protect themselves, as well, but why invite criticism when you don't need to do? Either introduce puppet 4 to the repositories under a different name, or provide altogether different repositories for it.
