I'm thinking that you'll lose reporting and manifest delivery. On the other hand, delivery isn't that hard. And puppet reporting seems pretty bare-bones out of the box anyway. This may be a good way to more easily integrate puppet into an existing management solution that already handles delivery and reporting rather than integrate all that into puppet server. So this sounds appealing to me. Will puppet standalone continue to be supported as a first class citizen?
