Did something change in the way Puppet outputs messages? Until this
morning we used the following to run Puppet from Cron on all our nodes:

  cron { 'puppet_agent':
    ensure  => 'present',
    command => '/usr/bin/puppet agent -o --no-daemonize --logdest syslog',
    user    => 'root',
    minute  => [ $min1, $min2, $min3, $min4 ],
  }

But as of 3.2.1 this produces output on every Puppet agent run and that
output is mailed out, resulting in hundreds of messages which contain
nothing of importance (see below). This had worked fine for almost two
years now, with output only generated on errors and problems (such as
DNS not available).

We had to change the cron resource to this:

  cron { 'puppet_agent':
    ensure  => 'present',
    command => '/usr/bin/puppet agent -o --no-daemonize --logdest syslog
> /dev/null 2>&1',
    user    => 'root',
    minute  => [ $min1, $min2, $min3, $min4 ],
  }

Is this behaviour change a bug or expected?
