I've just been really really badly bitten by the use of the ruby
selinux bindings, see
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1852

The effect of the silent failure when the ruby SELinux bindings are
not installed is horrific. In short, every run of puppetd triggers a
refresh of everything. To add insult to injury, the ruby SELinux
bindings are not even available for my platform and it's not clear
when/if they ever will be. See my comment in the bug report for a more
detailed explanation.

I know it's really rude to complain about software that kind people
make available for free, but seriously guys, RHEL and its variants
(CentOS, Scientific Linux) are very popular distributions, especially
for people who don't like things breaking too often :-) What were you
thinking when you knowingly broke puppet on them?

Rant over. At least I can still use puppet to install Marc Fournier's
work-around. Thanks Marc!
