Please, stop saying this. This line of the documentation is simply not
true. "ansible-core" is s distinct code base, from a different repo,
published as a different tarball. The ansible tarball is *only* a
curated set of ansible collections. It's huge, and awkward to manage,
and it does not contain the actually critical ansible-core3 that all
ansible software users require.
The ansible tarball is *locked* to specific releases of ansible-core
by the "ansible.egg-info/requires.txt" file, which currently lists:
ansible-core~=2.14.6
Having a listed dependency is far from "including" a distinct code
base. Please use the correct verb. To describe it better, may I
suggest:
> Ansible 7.6.0 requires and if not found, attempts to
automatically install ansible-core 2.14.6 The Ansible package provides
a large, curated set of Ansible collection published modules and
plugins.
