In ticket https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-4698 it is suggested that fqdn_rand should change its return value to be a numeric value instead of a string since it is common to compare it to a value later and string comparison never falls back to a numeric comparison with future parser/puppet 4.0.0.

In a strict sense, fixing this bug is a breaking change and would have to wait until puppet 5.0.0. OTOH, the consequence is that some may be silently bitten because there is no error, only that logic takes a different part because of a string compare instead of a numeric compare.

What says the people here? Is this a breaking change that has to wait until puppet 5.0.0, or can this be done for puppet 4.x ?
