Received the following notice from the puppet labs directed towards distributions packaging their software:

"I'd like to point out that facter is now requiring 'dmidecode'.  This
is not exactly a new dependency, as without dmidecode some facts were
returned with less-than-perfect results.  As a result, we've decided
to add dmidecode as a requirement on linux-based platforms.

I just wanted to give a heads-up for those looking at updating facter packages."
