Matt,
I don't remember the technical details on why it exists, but it does.
No, there aren't any plans to relax it that I'm aware of...
Yeah, we use git branches as environments, and we essentially do
's/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/_/g' on the branch names to get environment names.

Hi,
Our infrastructure design has the environment that a server lives in
embedded in its FQDN:
hostname.seccomp-environment.local
Where seccomp is the 'security compartment' (i.e. the kind of data it
houses) and env is the environment name.
I set my puppet.conf up so that 'environment = sc-env1' and got the
following error back from the master:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: The environment must be purely alphanumeric, not 'sc-env1'
I can kind of understand there being some limitations around allowed
characters (e.g. $, #, %), but I'd have thought that a hyphen would be
a) pretty safe and b) quite a common use case. Reading the fine
manual
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/environment.html#naming-environments)
that actually mentions that underscores are allowed too; It's a shame
the error message doesn't allude to that (see PUP-1395). So, for the
time being I'll translate our hyphens to underscores to workaround the
limitation.
Does anyone know why this restriction exists, and if there are any
plans to relax the restrictions?
Kind Regards,
Matt.
