So we had an extensive release candidate process - during which a fairly small number of people tested a number of features including PL people internally. The examples of parametrized classes we tested were not sufficiently extensive to identify the problem. Interestingly tracking the history of this - you did call out a problem with 2.6.0rc1 on the mailing list but didn't log a ticket until well after the release was marked final 7/19 versus 7/30. That ticket (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4405) appears to be have been a moot issue - it's not clear to me that there was a problem in the first place. Later, a ticket was logged (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4423) again after 2.6.0 was released by Jeff McCune based on his further testing and exposition of your emails. Overall, from this I'd mention that it is critical to us that people log tickets - we can't always follow every thread on the mailing list. If you find a bug then log a ticket as quickly as possible - include the version, your platform, an accurate and simple as possible manifest example of your issue, etc, etc. If we don't act on your ticket then bug us until we do. Best of all - submit bug fixes or patches.
