haven’t heard even a peep on the subject. As described[1], they’ve moved to

CFacter 0.4, the latest Hiera and Mcollective, as well Ruby 2.1.5, OpenSSL
1.0.0r, and our gem dependencies.” Furthermore, “the package installs into
its own area in /opt/puppetlabs”. Thus upstream is both bundling and using

As long as it's in "/opt", what's the problem? That's what /opt is
for! Unwielding and resolving individual components of an integrated
tool suite is often a nightmare, which is why puppet, chef, and
numerous commercial packages do the same thing.
