I think that's my new theory. For now, I think I'll be building and
testing a 2.7.(18|19) master and clients. The master will be
bootstrappable though puppet itself (I hope...). Assuming all goes well,
when I'm ready to roll out I'll re-assess the situation with 3.0 and
consider, if things look good, starting the build/test/validate loop
with 3.0.
Thanks for all the input.

From what I have seen there is a big difference between 2.6+ and 3.0+.
I would be setting up a completely separate environment with 2.7 to
test if your code works.
2.7 apparently let you know which things will stop working in 3.0 so
it will be a better idea to use that in the dev environment and iron
out the obvious things first and then switch to 3.0+
There will likely be a bunch of things you will need to fix with your
code before you switch your environment to 3.0 so by the time it's
"stable" enough you will have your code ported and ready to roll out.
I am currently running 2.7+ and plan on setting up my dev environment
to 3.0 once i finish a few more important modules i need to write for
a big project. (yes i write most of my modules from scratch)
Just my opinion but it seems like the best way to make sure everything
works and avoid breaking your production environment and spending way
too long fixing it.
Hope that helps.
Pete.

For anyone in the know, given this situation, would you recommend building
on puppet 2.7.18, or trying to draw things out as much as possible and wait
for a stable 3.x release? Does anyone have any general idea of when one
might be forthcoming (weeks? months? next year?)
I'm in a similar position with 1000 hosts, 100 odd modules, 2K+ resources
managed by puppet on 2.6.x. Given the deprecation warnings, and changes in
2.7, then 3.x, I'm using 2.7 both as a stepping stone to 3 (code cleanup)
and added functionality (puppet DB)
Seeing how 2.7 wasn't suitable *for me* until 2.7.10 due to some specific
bugs, I think you should move to 2.7 unless you have a simple setup and
prepared to wait for 3
