Well, fetch is used to gather files from a remote host and put them on the local one.
Usually filing up the roles directory would be a non-standard place to put things, and would probably result in data accidentally going into source control, and that content should drop outside of your playbook directly. I'd suggest downloading to a specific path, but more so, that you probably shouldn't be redistributing known hosts by trusting one of your nodes, as nodes should be by very nature untrustworthy, and something centrally managed. My two cents anyway, unrelated to the above. I think changing the path would break playbooks.
