Bug #6352: Puppet should only use Facter through a plugin interface
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6352#change-92428

* Author: Luke Kanies
* Status: Needs More Information
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: plumbing
* Target version: 
* Affected Puppet version: 
* Keywords: facter dependencies
* Branch: luke/ticket/master/6352-facter_should_not_be_hard_coded
----------------------------------------
Significant parts of Puppet (especially the client-side) use Facter directly.  
E.g., all of the provider subsystem is directly calling out to Facter.

This causes a few problems:

* Facter is hard-coded as a dependency for Puppet
* Facter is required even if none of its data is used
* Facter tends to be called more often than is necessary, because the data 
could just be cached in memory

This should be fixed so that Puppet provides its own internal interfaces for 
interacting with Facter data, such that there's only one part of the system 
that actually talks to Facter.
