Wolf,

Awesome feature request, sounds like you want auditing for facts.

Feature #13934: Mark some facts immutable

So I think there's a benefit to be had from having the ability to flag certain 
facts derived from the client as "immutable", and then be able to act 
"differently" should those facts change. 

Differently could be ceasing to provide a catalog to the potentially 
compromised server reporting a custom fact suddenly different, or sending an 
email because a dimm died and the server suddenly has less memory than it did 
before, or ... 

Certain facts are generated on the client. there's no real way around that. 
having the ability to tell the puppetmaster that should X, Y, or Z fact change 
something is drastically wrong and do something about it seems like a good tool 
to have in the shed, even if it's only used on occasion.
