We can also restrict the ssh commands that the user can run, and 
restrict it to the script that updates the manifests. That will avoid 
having to give root access to the puppetmaster, that said, the 
manifests that will be applied have implicit root access everywhere 
too, but if we want automatic deployments that's what you get (only 
maintainers should have merge access, meaning that anything that goes 
through has been reviewed, so what we are really doing is reducing the 
manual steps to one, when the reviewer merges the patch).
