Issue #3357 has been updated by micah -.

If facter cannot figure out the fqdn, wouldn't it be better to have it set as 
'nil', rather than set it to something other than what it is? In otherwords, 
don't we want facter representing the real state of the system, not making 
things up? If there is no fqdn for the host configured, it probably should be 
represented as no fqdn configured for the system. 

Afterall, what if you wanted to find all the systems that had no fqdn set, and 
fix them. You would only be able to do that if the fqdn was set to 'nil'

Bug #3357: fact fqdn doesn't get set if domain fact isn't set
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3357

Author: Simon Hürlimann
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Paul Nasrat
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.0
Keywords: domain, fqdn
Branch: 


If the domain fact doesn't get a value (see #3356) the fqdn isn't set either. 
But it should probably be just the hostname in this case.

Think may break in very interesting ways when using fqdn in your pupper 
recipes, but it won't be set. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534773 as an 
example;-)
