This has reduced our package size on macOS/Linux by ~50% and Windows by ~12%.

This plugin does not correctly return data on modern Mac systems. Additionally the same data is provided by the hardware plugin, which has a format that is simpler to consume. Removing this plugin will reduce Ohai return by ~3 seconds and greatly reduce the size of the node object on the Chef server. + +### ohai_name property in ohai resource + +The ``ohai`` resource's unused ``ohai_name`` property has been deprecated.
