To add a bit more constructive conversation around this release of Facter...

Changing the behavior for a very common and important fact (non-backwards 
compatible) in a minor point release seems a bit strange to me. The 
behavior of the ipaddress fact has been essentially the same for many 
years, and many users might not expect this behavior to change in a minor 
release marked as a "bugfix".
