We don't use it because we don't tightly control when things go into our
repository and sometimes upload things we don't want to deploy yet. We
also like to stage and carefully control when packages are upgraded.
It's not an unreasonable thing to do for test/dev environments, but I'd be
nervous about using it in production. I like to know when packages are
being upgraded and to watch. Puppet can't prompt an administrator, so if
something goes wrong with the package installation, things can be left in
a half-installed state.
