The way I understand it, it's more desirable to write actual plugins in ruby. You can download them in modules from the Forge and your puppetmaster can distribute them. The clients need not rely on execs and files but run the ruby snippets locally instead. I cannot comment on how difficult it is to make a plugin part of the official distribution.
