Puppet users - Dec 2012 - Puppet pushes facts even when I'm not including the module

Howdy,

I''ve got a module that''s the equivalent of:
/etc/puppet/modules/mymodule/lib/facter/myfact.rb

myfact.rb seems to get pushed to all nodes regardless of whether or not i 
include mymodule for that node.

my factpath is 
    factpath = $vardir/lib/facter:$vardir/facts

I''m on puppet v 3.0.0

I''m fairly certain that my site manifests are correct, so I
don''t believe
that this node is falling through and hitting a different node''s set of
includes.

It''s unclear if this is the expected and correct behavior for puppet?

Thanks

	This is the correct behavior and makes sense if you think about the 
order of transactions.

1. client connects to master and does cert things
2. master sends facts to client
3. client runs facts, POST to master requesting catalog
4. master generates catalog based on facts
5. client receives catalog and executes it

Because facts are run before the catalog is requested they can''t be 
doled out on demand.
