Hello and happy new year @all ;)

I have discovered recently the presence of the service "pxp-agent" after
the installation of the AIO package "puppet-agent". Personally, in the
puppet client side, I'm using the puppet-agent to contact the open source
puppetserver (so it's puppet 4, and personally I absolutely don't know PE)
and the mcollective server (which contacts a middleware). That's all.

1. Is it possible for me to disable the pxp-agent service (so that the
service doesn't start on boot) in my servers without problem? Or is the
"pxp-agent" service necessary in my case?

I have made an attempt in one server and apparently there no problem, the
service seems to be completely useless in my case. Am I wrong? Furthermore,
after the installation of puppet-agent, I don't see a listening port for
the service "pxp-agent".

2. If I understand well, pxp-agent seems to be something like mcollective.
Does it mean that the mcollective project will be abandoned and replaced
one day by the pxp-agent service? It will be curious because mcollective is
already included in the AIO package puppet-agent. So maybe pxp-agent and
mcollective will coexist together but in this case I don't really see the
difference between these tools (as regards the purpose of these tools).

Thanks for your help.
Regards.
