The issue with that is that I have to change the policies on the puppetmaster each time I want to upgrade, and then make sure to remove the include after it runs on each host so that it doesn't attempt the upgrade twice (which wouldn't cause issues, but it leaves the window open for user error - ie: forgetting to remove the include).
It was nice in cfengine to be able to alter the state of policy for just a single run by adding classes on the command line. If there's no good way to do that with puppet, I guess I'll have to write a shell script for it. I just wanted to keep the entirety of our config in puppet, and have more control over software releases.
