`gather_subset: all` with gather old style facts that will not have `ansible_` prefix to fact keys.
If you don't want old style fact you set gather_subset to 
```
gather_subset:
  - default
  - hardware
  - config
  - interfaces
```

In case you want to fetch old style facts also which uses [junos_eznc library](https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc) to fetch facts internally you need to set `provider` option within task and `connection=local`
```
  tasks:
    - name: Gathering facts
      junos_facts:
        gather_subset: all
        config_format: json
        provider:
          host: <hostname>
          port: <port>
          username: <username>
          password: <password>
      register: facts
```

This behavior needs to be documented as part of the fix for this issue and make `ofacts` as one of the options for `gather_subsets`
Nice, thanks. 

With the referenced fix you can use it with `connection=netconf` and enable or disable fetching old style facts using 
Enable:
```
gather_subsets: "ofacts" 
```

Disable:
```
gather_subsets: "!ofacts"
``` 
@sveinou Can you please test with the referenced PR?
Works!

I can now get ofacts with provider without changing the connection type for the play. And i can drop the ofacts and provider to only get the new ones.


Thanks for confirmation
