Comment (by anarcat):

 this has started. most of site.pp has been emptied, with the easy stuff
 first. the hard stuff are hosts where the `$roles` function is actually
 relevant. for example, the following ferm macros are probably actually in
 use:

 HOST_ROLE_PUPPETMASTER HOST_ROLE_DIP HOST_ROLE_JENKINS
 HOST_ROLE_NAGIOSMASTER

 ... and probably more, namely bacula. other classes will refer to the
 $roles or nodeinfo lists explicitely as well and will need to be broken up
 in separate classes that then get properly included. but it's a great
 start and so far no breakage that i know of.

 i documented the impact of the change in site.pp, but it might be good to
 add something to the wiki docs as well.
