While I am also interested in knowing area's of the config management 
system with Spacewalk would like maybe enhanced. I am quite interested 
in knowing of this usage.

I found your write up to be very informative. Nice to see the usage of 
custom_info and a custom External Node Lookup script.

Did you consider using Cobbler as an external node? If so, what was the 
choice not to use it, lack of value?

Are there area's within Spacewalk you would like to see enhanced further 
to make future work with Puppet easier to do?

Are you using git or svn to store puppet config files? Since the config 
management system of Spacewalk has basic revision control, did you 
consider using Spacewalk's config management system to manage the puppet 
configs? :)
