Description

Facter should be able to pull facts from a configuration file, for example something like /etc/facter.conf. This is an easy entry point for non-developer sysadmins who want to create arbitrary facts.

Facts would be in the form of key=value.

fact=value

If we wished to do namespaces we could do something like:

[namespace]
fact=value
