Obviously, "best practices" are not at all the same thing as the DSL itself. Still, I'm curious what you define as "PuppetLabs recommended best practices". PL has indeed at times published various best practices guides on their site, but the current one is so high-level as to hardly recommend anything close enough to the DSL as to lead anyone to confuse the two. The guides they have published in the past have come and gone as Puppet has grown and experience with it has grown, both at PL and in the community. PL is indeed a fast-moving company, though, and Puppet is a faster-moving product than many. Nevertheless, Felix is right: the Puppet core is pretty stable. The key to best practices, whether with Puppet or any other complex system, is to understand the system well enough to know why one practice is better than another. That's something we can help you with here, though you will have to contend with a plurality of opinions.
