I'm fully aware of how the ansible PyPI package is built.

We have two things here: we have the ansible PyPI package, and we have
Ansible as the 'thing' that users use.

The new suggestion is perfect from a technical point of view, when
talking about the ansible PyPI package. But it is NOT perfect when
looking at Ansible, as described by the Ansible docsite
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/) and the Ansible changelog
(https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/8/CHANGELOG-v8.rst).

I'm against changing something so that one aspect of it is better, but
another gets worse, without this being properly discussed first.

Cheers,
Felix
