I had a problem come up in training last week involving synced facts that brought out a larger problem in pluginsync.
So if I create a module 'one' and define a fact in it called 'myfact', then create a module 'two' and also define a fact there called 'myfact' they will collide. The fact in 'two' will win because it comes later in the directory globbing. But worse is that they will be continuously fighting. On an agent run you can see this fact being overwritten to 'one/myfact' and then 'two/myfact' every single time.
This is horrible for usability because it's not clear which fact will be called, and it's a terrible waste of bandwidth, etc.
