It's vestigial. We used to use it when deciding whether to recompile
a catalog - we would force a catalog if any facts changed, but we
ignored dynamic facts like memfree because they always change and
changes in them weren't sufficient to trigger a recompile.
I'd like to add some support for this back in the future, but I think
it'll end up looking pretty different - at the least, I think it will
largely be server-side rather than client-side.
