[openstack-dev] [Fuel] It is impossible to queue UpdateDnsmasqTask

Bulat is suggesting to move with 4. He suggest to merge all actions of
UpdateDnsmasqTask into one puppet task. There are three actions: syncing
admin network list to heira, dhcp ranges update and cobbler sync. The
problem I see with this approach is that current implementation does not
suppose passing any additional data to "puppet apply". Cobbler sync seems
to be a reasonable part of updating dhcp ranges config.

Best,
