Oh, so modules that claim to be non-puppet3-compatible from now on is because they implemented things that are only supported in Puppet 4? It's clearer in my head now. I'll try the modules I use under puppet 4 and see which break. I'm pretty sure that my current puppet setup will not work as I still use import statements. It was deprecated in puppet3, I guess it is not supported in 4?
