Sorry but this must be a joke. Why doesn't Perforce want to provide puppet modules for their own software?
And what about the puppetdb specific code in pe-modules rpm/deb package? That's probably still maintained? Why can't Puppet Enterprise eat their own dogfood and use the puppetlabs/puppetdb module instead?
You put us now in a situation where open source users are treated like second class citizens and I fail to understand why.

Another thought: There even is a whole team dedicated to manage puppet modules. They manage a bunch of modules for third party software. Why don't they maintain the PuppetDB module (or one for Puppetserver and Puppet Agent)? I asked that a few times during office hours but never got a proper answer.

@GSPatton I have suggested we talk about this at the next VOX sync and it might be good for your product area to be aware and to help discuss

added this PR as a talking point to the agenda (https://github.com/voxpupuli/community-triage/wiki)

Puppetlabs's own puppetserver team having to work around the lack of maintenance of this module makes this preamble even more puzzling:

This was discussed at length: https://github.com/voxpupuli/community-triage/wiki#february-13-2024
The short summary is:
- Historically there exists an internal version to support PuppetDB in PE
- Puppet uses this module for CI
- This preamble is intended to clarify the existing situation
- By the next community meeting (2024-02-13) we should have more clarity on the path forward
Added preamble to README at request of Puppet Community leadership.
