Hi Jeffrey,
You're correct about the placement of the file, however you don't need to
include it in EVERY module you use. That fact only needs to be in ONE of
your modules for every node to utilize it as a Facter fact (currently, ANY
Facter facts that are in your $modulepatch get loaded by ALL of your nodes).
So repeating this code is very redundant. Does this makes sense?
