Hi,

I'm wondering if the latest version of Ansible allows developers to reduce 
the amount of useless information that is displayed while running playbooks.

For example, a *reasonable* way to code the "fail" module is to not display 
a bunch of useless "TASK [fail] skipping" output for tasks that succeed. 
 It's just stupid to display a bunch of text that essentially states, "I'm 
going to skip failing this task because everything worked properly." 
 Especially for reasonably complex operations that require multiple "fail" 
sanity checks.

Now, judging by the fact that approximately one million people upvoted the 
following request to selectively suppress the output of certain tasks, it's 
likely that I'll just have to keep accepting this stupid behavior from 
Ansible: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3324

I mean, that product decision is probably not *quite* as stupid as 
replacing "fail" with "fail_when", which doesn't even let developers 
specify custom error messages, amirite?
