I install and use it on CentOS (and Debian, and Gentoo, and Solaris,
and OS X), but only for configuration; I don't rely on it for package
management at all.
The only "traps" I've encountered are:
1) make sure your config repository is solid, with a clear and
conservative set of guidelines concerning change management
2) use "-nv" liberally while formulating your configuration
3) for now, anyway, you have to add special shellcommands to
manipulate SELinux contexts
4) document whatever you do, because it's likely that none of
your colleagues are familiar with cfengine (a sadly true
fact of life...)
