Hi john,

As of Facter 4, legacy facts are aliases to Core/Structured facts. At one point (probably in Puppet 8) we would like to disable them by default to reduce the amount of information we send to PDB, however, we will provide the possibility to enable them through a Facter configuration parameter.

As you've pointed out, we are working on moving away from Legacy facts and we hope that everyone moves away from them.

P.S. We do understand that moving to structured facts is not an easy task.

Cheers,
Mihai
