I had been using custom variable enclosures with #jinja2 templates, but 
since updating from ansible 1.5.4-> 1.6.x  I've had these break.

I was using this feature for cases in which I wanted to provision a VM 
using an ansible role that deploys a collection of support playbooks.  The 
idea being that these playbooks could then be used locally (connection: 
local) by support technicians on the endpoint.  These playbooks were for 
everyday tasks such as changing the hostname, running a support collect, 
etc.

Here I describe an example that used to work: https://coderwall.com/p/kci7ca

Doing some digging, I've found that the feature was broken purposefully 
because of a security concern.  There seems to be a PR 
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/8040) for a fix, but there has 
been no movement on it.

@laserllama on twitter mentioned that there may be a better way to do such 
things.  What's the current news on this feature? What kind of workarounds 
are people using?

Have a great Friday,
Sarah
