This is something I'd be quite interested in as well.  All of our private
data is stored via ansible-vault, but then it winds up being displayed in
plain text as the playbook executes.  In a slightly contrived example, I've
got an encrypted users.yml file that has user passwords.  In my playbook, I
pass the variable to the users module as "with_items: users", and wind up
seeing all of the passwords, exactly like Thom pasted above.

Certainly the argument can be made that since I knew the vault password, I
could go look up that information anyway, but I'm more concerned with
someone looking over my shoulder, or the output being some where I don't
control (Jenkins, for instance).

So nothing valuable to add to this discussion, only hoping to see what
others have done to work around this!
