Great. Then i'll fill a RFP (and maybe start to package it based on the
upstream work).
What package name do you suggest? Should we go with puppet-razor (as

Ang what about the packaging repository? I guess it could be inside of
pkg-puppet on alioth? If not I would start on collab-maint. Opinions?

Cheers,
