add a new 2021 roadmap item for Puppet
authored

Working on and improving our Puppet environment while following best practices [0] is currently blocking on our lack of an external node classifier, or ENC. Adding this item as a priority on our roadmap will resolve #40358 and help advance #29387 Deploying `hiera-enc` in itself should be fairly straightforward, however since some nodes are assigned multiple roles, some of those roles (eg. roles::fde) will have to be converted into profiles instead and included from the role class. So a small amount of restructuring of our roles manifests and current hiera data is to be expected. If I can focus on this I don't expect it should take more than one week's time (20h) to implement this fully. [0] https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/the_roles_and_profiles_method.html
