+1 on the plan from me.

Note that instack-undercloud is still using a few of the bash based
elements. It's mostly due to no one having a chance yet to finish the
full conversion over to the puppet driven approach, and some
additional puppet module work that's likely needed. I think it'll be
easier to clean these up and finish the conversion, so we can
deprecate the old elements once we get it covered via tripleo CI.
