Without considering implementation time and complexities like migration to that and supporting older versions, I think `Puppet.runtime[:facter]` feels cleanest. It would be a very good way to really isolate the compiler from the system you run on which allows you to really pretend you're some other system (different OS, kernel etc). As for testing custom facts: I'd really like it if we could somehow make that work as well. Sadly, many custom facts use things like `Facter.value` directly. So then you're back to multiple backends in Facter itself. However, I think we can make it easier to test custom facts with better rspec-puppet integration instead.
