Description

Hi,

Shouldn't be better to remove the certificate only when the machine gets preseed_finish?
That way, the machine can still be managed by puppet until it gets reinstalled.

Regards,
Ricardo

I'm not sure what you are asking, removing (which is also revoking the certificate in the last puppet master branch) will disable the client all together, IMHO removing should be done only when reinstalling or deleting the client

Instead of removing the certificate imediatelly after pressing "build", you could delay it to preseed or preseed_finish.
The problem with the current methodology is that as soon as you press build, the machine will not be able to get policy from puppet anymore.
If the machine user never reboots the machine, it will never reinstall and will not be managed by puppet.
