Interesting.

But people would expect a time of "deprecated but works" at the least.
And besides, I find the original way more logical. (Which will be so for 
more people, necessitating a deprecation warning,  not a complete failure)

I'm noticing a lot of stuff gone, sort of broken, changed behavior, between 
these two ansible versions. Not good for the mindset of people who I just 
managed to get onboard with Ansible.

Thanks,
Mark
