Facter / Bug FACT-2545
AIX kernel resovler redirects stderr to stdout, which breaks facts on OS errors

The AIX kernel resolver fact runs oslevel -s  and redirects stderr to stdout. If oslevel produces an error, this behavior breaks kernel facts.

This in turn breaks kernel fact resolution with no workaround.

There's no documented reason why stderr needs to be redirected to stdout here.
