No, AIO is quite a different beast from a separate repo per release. It is Puppet software plus private copies of substantially all dependencies, all in a single package. It is true that the packages in question are of the target machines' native package type, but that's not the point. I have both philosophical and practical objections to the practice, without regard to the details of Puppet's AIO packages specifically. Your Infosec people are going to hate it more specifically and intensely, and it is possible that you will even run into a policy that forbids (third party) AIO packages altogether. If they undertake the required review, then expect it to take a long time, because they will need to review every component included in the AIO.
