These things are known to me, and I understand how Ohai works. 

Probably, my question was too generic. 

1. Should we install "sigar" rubygem on rackspace servers to let ohai detect correctly private/public IP addresses?

1.1 Shouldn't "sigar" rubygem be installed by default if ohai depends on it?

Sigar is optional. For most people, ohai gets the information they need without it. People who want or need the additional information can install sigar to get it.

Ohai should probably have a more structured mechanism for this kind of thing, perhaps something like knife plugins' rubygems integration, but that's how it is for now.
