the plan is to be integrated with Puppet Tally ie. Puppet 2.8.  I am not
100% sure of the dates thats due - ask stahma on irc - but I just got off
a hour long call with the dev who is scheduled to start work on the
integration
next week

But certainly, pop tickets into redmine I am sure the small issues around
licence can be resolved, there's already a ticket for ruby 1.9.x (though I am
sure you're completely out of luck with 191, no1 will support that)
