The features that I would like to add my vote for: * Fact TTLs * Custom fact execution timeouts * Fact execution timeouts * Fact parallelization (and settings therein) Hmm, I'd question the ROI of trying to parallelize something that is already pretty fast and can be made even faster with a working client-side fact cache that has long TTLs for expensive facts. Are there benefits besides speed you have in mind here? * Moving the facts.d location * Asynchronous fact reporting (I don't want to have to run facter every puppet run) * System fact ACLs (have the ability to allow other hosts access to facts) Can you explain the problem statement behind this last one a little better?

A little thread necromancy here, as I finally got back to this and started working into a real proposal as Puppet RFC 24, Facter Config File. WIP google doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xlj0NYESLHNv5ZO_NJ-1fCssAWzaHsTZIhyaK3uzHQY/edit I think I summarized everyone's use-case in the "Problems and People" section but feel free to comment/suggest if I've mischaracterized something. I have a few more inline questions on the way too.
