This was avoided on purpose as Puppet doesn't necessary know how to handle
complex data structures (e.g. Arrays, Hashes etc).
the common workaround for this, is to use a CSV value, e.g.:
projects = foreman,puppet,redhat
and then, if you need it in your manifest, use the split function - e.g.:
$myvar = split($projects,",")
and if you need it in a template use the split ruby function - e.g.:
<% projects.split(",").each do |project| -%>
<%= project.upcase %>
<% end -%>

We used to use arrays the way you do.
They definitely make templates easier and the YAML looks cleaner.
However, we found the benefit of using Foreman and all its other
features more important than having arrays.
We ended up using something very similar to Ohads example here.
