Hey Jeffrey,
Yes, many sites have a 'stdlib' or 'global' that contains custom facts,
functions, types/providers, and the like. You wouldn't even need a class
declaration at all, you could just have a directory called 'global' that
has lib/facter/{facts here} in it. As long as that global module is in the
$modulepath, then all of your nodes have their custom facts.
