    IBM -> RedHat -> Ansible (https://docs.ansible.com/platform.html)

    I think the new ansible docs are opaque, and the new "everything is an ansible collection" scheme makes troubleshooting any issues reported by users hundreds of times harder than "the old days"

    I keep this (https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob...) bookmarked because it's the only way to match up what "ansible 8.1.0" (https://pypi.org/project/ansible/8.1.0/) even means since it for damn sure not any of this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/releases (they used to have a 'release' pinned on that releases tab saying "these are not the droids you are looking for"). I believe I tried asking for them to update the completely erroneous pypi "source code" link to point to that repo and ... well, one can see how well that turned out

    As https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/issues/114 showed we should really check the existing collections included in the Ansible package. Some ideas:

    galactory is a thin Ansible Galaxy front-end that uses Artifactory for its backend storage. It also supports transparently proxying to upstream Galaxy, storing those artifacts in Artifactory as well. It supports reading, discovering, and publishing collections (no role support).
