## Description

    Fact: operatingsystemmajrelease

    Purpose: Returns the major release of the operating system.

    Resolution: splits down the operatingsystemrelease fact at decimal point for
     osfamily RedHat derivatives and Debian.

    This should be the same as lsbmajdistrelease, but on minimal systems there
    are too many dependencies to use LSB
