Cyril: you're welcome to ping me.  I'm not sure how much time I'll have
right now to help directly, but depending on what you encounter, I might
at least know something that could help.

I suspect that for many uses, the puppetdb nrepl dependency could just
be dropped, though I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure what, if any
other adjustments might need to be made after that.

And in the longer run, I suppose the LTS versions (currently 5.2) might
be interesting for for our stable releases.

Thanks much for the Clojure work.
