I'd like to let this thread drop, but I don't want to leave this assumption. Commerce has not even been a part of this discussion. What we do on this list is try to maintain Ansible for thousands upon thousands of users, and try to make sure that we design and test things to ensure we create a good product for everyone. We are not, by any means, responding to a customer ticket to fix behavior. However, I *AM* going to use my expertise about how to make Ansible easier to everyone from time to time, to try and target Ansible so that it helps the most people. Which if people like Ansible to date, I think they have to trust that is what we have been doing, and are continuing to do. It's not going to be the case that the most vocal always get to win their arguments, as that is a path to disaster for everyone involved. When people have concerns -- PLEASE -- express them. But also spare the allegations of evil-doing. The transmuto-ray in the basement isn't even ready yet. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
