You can't use group_by stuff at that point because it hasn't run yet, true,
but there is a solution to what you would like to do, using two plays in
the same playbook
- hosts: all
tasks:
- group_by: key=os-{{ ansible_distribution }}
- hosts: "{{ distro | default('all') }}"
tasks:
- action: ping
- ...
ansible-playbook foo.yml -e "pattern=os-Fedora"
