Molecule 6 Developer Preview and Feedback
The Ansible team announced at AnsibleFest and Ansible Community Days last month that Molecule will be released as a developer preview on its way to being a fully supported part of the Ansible platform. In order to achieve this, Molecule will need to be streamlined and refocused as a test runner for functional testing of Ansible playbooks and roles using Ansible itself. This will require a number of breaking changes to happen before releasing “Molecule 6” in order to do all of this. You can read about the changes here and we welcome your questions and feedback on their roll out: https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule/milestone/35

Learned bit of Ansible to automate some post-fresh-Arch-install work
I would recommend you to use roles instead of just playbooks and to test them with molecule. Molecule allows you to quickly test your Ansible roles in a fresh Arch Linux podman container, completely isolated from your real system.

Should ansible-lint, molecule and other tools use a single irc channel?
Please upvote your prefered answer from the https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule/discussions/3130 survey which proposed joining ansible-lint and ansible-molecule channels when we move them from freenode irc to libera.chat. There is also an option to keep the channels separated.
