I agree.

It does in fact make me smile a little bit when the puppet installation script is longer than the script to do whatever it is that needs to be done to install the app itself. :)

Over time, it may make sense to move to a more deterministic solution, but to start there (IMO) is often a case of premature optimization.

Installation is mostly trivial. Maintaining a bunch of systems is not.

I mostly agree with this though.
