Release Notes Summary:

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

{
    "Linux": [
      {
        "Debian": [
          "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.

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.

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~~.
