Issue #2157 has been updated by Udo Waechter.

This is a wonderful idea. I think that it would be cleaner to have:

@/etc/facter/facter.d@

At least debian-like OSes introduce more and more packages that have 
@/etc/packagename/@ top directories for theis config files. This is a pretty 
clean approach and avoids isorder in @/e...@. Maybe something like facter.conf 
is introduced some time in the future, then this would be 
@/etc/facter/facter.conf@

And second:
Custom facts coud output multiple key-value pairs. This would lead to less 
files in @facter.d@
The problem that would then arise is, that it would make dynamic facts more 
difficult to handle: @facter <factname>@ might be difficult to implement when 
one would have another language than ruby for facts.

Bug #2157: Scripted fact support (eg /etc/fact.d
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2157

Author: Paul Nasrat
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Paul Nasrat
Category: 
Target version: 2.0.0
Complexity: Unknown
Keywords: 


As a fact writer I want a mechanism to write facts in my favourite language and 
for facter to run them automatically so that I can easily write custom facts.

Given I have a configured directory for scripting facts
When a executable script that returns a key value pair is executed
Then the fact should be available in facter
