(As one of the core reviewers for the Puppet modules)

Without a standardised package build process it's quite difficult to test
trunk Puppet modules vs trunk official projects. This means we cut release
branches some time after the projects themselves to give people a chance to
test. Until this changes and the modules can be released with the same
cadence as the integrated release I believe they should remain on
Stackforge.

In addition and perhaps as a consequence, there isn't any public
integration testing at this time for the modules, although I know some
parties have developed and maintain their own.

The Chef modules may be in a different state, but it's hard for me to
recommend the Puppet modules become part of an official program at this
stage.
