Issue #1919 has been updated by Paul Nasrat.

Target version changed from 1.6.0 to unplanned

I tend to think this is a distro/os specific policy and this is very linux 
multilib specific (cf fat binaries on OS X)

People can just use rpm -E '%{__lib}'' in a custom fact if they need this, but 
doing this in a portable, meaningful way for multiple OSen and distros I don't 
think makes a whole lot of sense.

Moving to unplanned. This may get revisited post 2.x if we have ELF, Mach-O, 
etc fact providers and more structured facts.
----------------------------------------
Feature #1919: Please have facter provide something other than arch to 
distinguish /usr/lib vs /usr/lib64, etc.

On x86_64 machines, it'd be very useful to simulate something like RPM's 
%{_lib} macro, which will "do the right thing"... it's 'lib' on i386 machines 
and 'lib64' on x86_64 machines, etc.

I could write my own based off of 'architecture' from facter, but this seems 
like a potentially common enough that having facter just provide it from 
upstream would be a good thing.
