retirement of puppet in epel7

[Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden]

Hello everyone,

Puppet 3.6 in EPEL7 is long EOL and has real security problems. As 
discussed on devel@ (archive[1]), it's not feasible to upgrade it within 
EL7 so the intent is to retire it instead. Unless there are serious 
reasons not to, I'll proceed with this in a week.

Regards,
Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden

Due to personal reasons I didn't get around to this earlier, but I've 
committed the retirement.
