+1 Really. Stages are a very blunt tool. If you try to do anything very complicated with them then you are likely to run into difficulties. Although such issues are often resolvable without giving up on stages, they make more work for you, eating into and maybe even overcoming any gains you might have been expecting from use of stages. If you stick to simple uses of stages, on the other hand, then you probably don't have any potential gains over Puppet's sharper, more precise alternatives in the first place.
