The problem is that today on CentOS, I will get 5.2 returned for the
operatingsystemrelease fact while on RHEL I will get 5. This is
really just a buglet. No matter how it is fixed, it will mean a
change for someone.
The question really is which behavior is the correct one. I lean
toward the complete version being the more correct behavior.
Ideally, by the time this change makes it into a facter release, folks
will have time to notice it and puppet will have several ways of
helping them deal as gracefully as possibly with it.
