Issue #11320 has been updated by Ramin K.
The comment by James got me thinking so I did some testing. I *think*
Puppet.settings[:node_name_value] should always exist and be correct, but I
couldn't say for certain. Adding the additional fact didn't seem to interfere
with existing facts in my limited testing and it was set correctly when
defaulting to certname or fdqn. I think this the right method/place to handle
it rather than in facter as it's like the rest of the internal facts in that it
comes from puppet.conf.

Feature #11320: node_name_value unavailible as a fact

Affected Facter version:
I'm not sure this is a bug so I'm calling it a feature until someone says
otherwise. What I'm trying to do is divorce certname from fqdn and the name of
the node from either of those. Comments in Issue #2128 could be interpreted to
say that this is an acceptable and valid use case.
Client is 2.7.6 with Facter 1.6.2. The master is 2.7.6. I have this set in my
puppet.conf on the client. No changes to the standard config on the master for
node names.
<pre>[agent]
certname = 007f0101
node_name_value = precise01.stage.aws</pre>
The above works and matches my regex for Ubuntu Precise testing. However I can
not find any way to use the value of node_name_value as a fact.
I could write a custom fact, but it seems like I should be able to access
node_name in some way for manifests outside of it's mapping to certname,
clientcert, hostname, or fqdn. Also I'm not sure that solves the problem since
I'd end up setting node_name_fact rather than using node_name_value.
