Puppet users - Sep 2009 - Just checking: newest Facter on box with ancient Puppet

I just wanted to double-check with those in the know since "just trying 
it" could miss something small but significant:

Is it generally accepted that while Puppet may require version X of 
Facter, Puppet accepts say version X+3 of Facter?  I''m wondering if I 
can potentially upgrade Facter to the lastest (1.5.6 or 1.5.7) on my 
boxes running Puppet 0.22.4 well before Puppet is upgraded to 0.24.8 or 
0.25.

Shouldn''t be an issue there I wouldn''t think.
