Johnathan, The main reason for me to switch is the fact that ansible-2.9 will not receive bugfixes except the security ones. Earlier or later ansible community will stop supporting v2.9 and we'll have to switch anyway. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html#ansible-core-release-cycle >From my experience, the code is stable enough to make a switch now. -- With best regards, Pavel Korovin
