Well, I'm already doing that inside *other_role*; however, I'm guessing if
I make *other_role* a dependency of this other role and pass *some_var*,
it's still going to try to execute all other tasks in *other_role*,
including all other ones defined in their own yml and included in
*other_role* main.yml
Unless you're suggesting I somehow include this yml file that exists in
*other_role* in the main.yml of the role that is dependent upon this task.
And to be clear, I'm trying to make this happen so that I don't have to
recreate this task in this other role.
