While I appreciate the suggestion for a workaround, I think Vagrant can do 
better.

Maybe this is more a question regarding the level of responsibility Vagrant 
has over the actions it performs.

   - Should Vagrant offer the ability to get the exit code of a provisioner?
      - With that info, should Vagrant allow the developer to perform 
      different actions based on the returned value?
   - Specifically for the Puppet provisioners:
      - Should Vagrant allow the developer to configure a set number of 
      retries when a non-zero exit code is returned.
   
This has come up because we use Vagrant to provision multi-node 
environments, and when a single provisioner in one node fails, the whole 
process is halted.  This results in re-running the whole process again, 
which can cost us a lot of time in some cases.

I wanted to start discussion about this here before creating an issue (just 
in case this feature was already supported, and I just missed it).

I'm all ears on any other suggestions for our use-case, but I may bring 
this up in an issue soon to continue discussion there (and possibly create 
a PR).
