Issue Type:	Task
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2020/04/15 12:23 AM
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Bogdan Irimie

The hierarchy should look similar to

    "Linux": [

        "Debian": [

          "Elementary",

          "Ubuntu"

},

        "El": [

          "Fedora",

          "Amzn",

          "Centos"

},

        "Opensuse": [

          "Sles"

},

    "Solaris": [

      "Bsd"

},

  "Macosx"

The starting point should be the POC from FACT-2539.

Release Notes Summary:

We have created a hierarchy of operating systems e.g.

{
    "Linux": [
      {

          "Elementary",
          "Ubuntu"
        ]
      },

...

The hierarchy allows us to load facts from the child and all its parents. If the same fact is present in a child and a parent, the one from the child takes precedence.
