I was wondering if we can do the same for Foreman. My idea is to abuse
facter for that sending this as a base64 encoded fact, but only for the
first time.
Dedicated agent for that is an overkill, but the other solution would be
"pull" method, via ssh perhaps. We'd need to do this usually once for a
given operating system.
It seems like these change so few, it is just as easier server side.
