In my experience, root password is handled by the installer and firstboot 
is not needed to configure users if puppet is being used to configure 
them.  (Also there are many Fedora systems out there having only root and 
the system accounts -- i.e., no real users.)  Having to disable the 
firstbooot systemd unit file just to get to a root prompt so that puppet 
can be installed would be a PITA.  The whole idea of puppet is to avoid 
having to such things because it can automate them.
