You do not *have* to quote strings however I have ran into issues with hiera
turning strings that look like integers into an integer which causes problems
when you attempt to do a key lookup using a string value or pass a value to a
parameter that expects a string value.
For example, there is a difference between this:
signing_keys:
epel: '7':
key_name: foo
And this:
signing_keys:
epel: 7:
key_name: foo
The latter causes the value for signingkeys['epel'] to be converted into an
integer instead of a string. This can cause issues with puppet depending
on how you reference the data.
