I would also greatly appreciate if a alternative solutions could be discussed.
Mistakes have been made and the policy is clear on the consequences. However, from a user's perspective, strictly adhering to policy here would appear to have an even bigger downside, in the sense that a 2.10.x ansible of at least certain quality would be better than no ansible. If there is room for discussion and if there is any way that I can help with this effort (especially with testing), please let me know. Best, Christian
