I don't, because of space, cost, and potential EMI problems.
Plus, I just don't see the need.   There's nothing in the can other 
than a simple two-transistor oscillator, and now you have to assure a 
low impedance and direct ground connection from this can, to 
everything it feeds.

Driving multiple chips is one advantage though.
