For me, the killer app for storeconfigs is exported SSH host keys.   
That's information that my puppetmaster *doesn't* have in its  
manifests, and needs to collect from clients.  That said, sshkey  
resources are giving me trouble in 0.24.8, with puppetd logging errors  
such as:

        puppetd[6170]: Got an uncaught exception of type ArgumentError: Field  
'name' is required

And unusual messages like:

        puppetd[6170]: Sshkey absent found in both parsed and parsed;  
skipping the parsed version

I've not yet had time to track down this issue (and should probably do  
so in the 0.25 beta, anyway), but I wonder if anyone else has seen this.
