I don't know, here lately I've been swaying towards dvcs w/ Juju and
Charms but I can't say I wouldn't use Puppet or Chef (actually I can
say I probably wouldn't use Chef -- depending on if it was really my
choice -- sometimes clients want what they know and as long as it
isn't a security hazard I'll probably not fight it, unless it's
detrimental to them.)
