Hi,

I'm trying to write generic roles for particular applications and keep 
hitting across the same problem:

I want to set role default based on the operating system or other facts, 
like include_vars, but this doesn't appear to be supported.

The only option I see practically available for template is to use the 
template logic to handle defaults, but that, while flexible, is not as 
elegant as being able to set by-fact defaults.

The code I'm working at present on 
is https://github.com/WillsherPartners/ansible-sshd , where there is a 
large set of defaults and a template.  sshd_subsystem_sftp varies depending 
on OS, but I still want to give the person using the role to option to 
override the value if they see fit.

Are there any plans for include_vars: (include_defaults?) functionality in 
Ansible, or is there some other way to tackle per-os defaults? 


Thanks,
Matt
