I just set up a couple 4.0.0 virtual machines, trying to follow the 
installation instructions as-written on the website, and found some 
confusing things.

First - can somebody explain why you're referring to the software in docs 
with one version (4.0.0) and you have a very different versioning for the 
rpm/deb packages....and then the --version strings of the various utilities 
in /opt/puppetlabs/bin report something very different from either the 
4.0.0 version 'or' the rpm/deb package versions.

Is there a reason you're not packaging for the various distros using the 
same version identifiers your code and docs seem to use ?  Seems like a 
gratuitous obfuscation to me.   Why would you possibly have their major 
versions so different from what 'foo --version' reports ?

Also your 4.0 docs have lots of pointers back to 3.7 info, which is also 
pretty confusing, as well as having links that don't resolve.

   - https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.0/reference/system_requirements.html 
    (in the main body) 'pre-install tasks' doesn't resolve, but it does 
   resolve in the menu on the left
   - https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.0/reference/install_linux.html 
   points to 3.7 docs for the bottom half-dozen links
   
Lastly, when installing the agent system, it didn't register the cert 
request with the master until I ran agent with --test and 'then' started 
the agent with puppet itself.
