Description

As of Bigtop 3.2.0, facter's version on EPEL was 3.14.2 and it considered Rocky as RedHat.

$ docker run -it bigtop/puppet:3.2.0-rockylinux-8 bash
[root@c9ab5fb66758 /]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Rocky Linux release 8.5 (Green Obsidian)
[root@c9ab5fb66758 /]# facter --version
3.14.2
[root@c9ab5fb66758 /]# facter operatingsystem
RedHat

But the recent version of facter regards Rocky as it is, so some functionalities of the toolchain don't work with it.
