As a heads up, we plan to merge https://github.com/puppetlabs/cfacter to https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/tree/master (facter/master) this afternoon. If you're pinning against facter/master, you may want to change that to facter/2.x unless you're prepared to compile the native binary.
Specific details are available at https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-853.
