Puppet Labs releases a version of Puppet about  once a month.  That's
kind of fast moving for EPEL (since you have to wait at least 2 weeks
in epel-testing).  Sometimes Puppet breaks compatibility between
versions also. We try not to do this, but sometimes it happens.  We're
really trying not to do that though.

Packages are up to EPEL/RH standards.  It's more an issue of if you
had manifests/modules that worked with 0.25, then 2.6 in 2.7 they may
not quite work.

Not sure about this question.  We support EL 6 today.

I can't speak too much about Satellite, as I'm not much of a community
member there any more.
