The environments feature was recently contributed in #54. I use puppet with r10k which encourages the use of throw-away environments as a means of promoting fast feature development and continuous integration (by creating git branches).

As an example, I had a throw-away environment called agent which I was using to do some feature development for installing agents.

Once I was satisfied with the Git branch for agent, I merged it into production. After that, I deleted agent Git branch in my puppet control repository. At its next run, r10k automatically removed the agent environment.

What consideration should be given to "throw-away" environments?
