I think this is a huge benefit. If we can start asking our systems: "Okay, what files are currently unmanaged in /etc?" or "What packages are installed that aren't managed or depend on something that's managed?", I think that's a big win. I'd love to be able to know what's unmanaged on my systems, so I can either bring it into management, or tell Puppet to ignore it.
