is it possible to run playbooks in an "offline" mode where setup

we sometimes have limited internet connectivity and playbooks that are
only
doing local work will hang on setup. running with `gather_facts =
false`
allows the playbook to execute, but then conditionals that check
`ansible_distribution` fail, even though we can't need internet access
to
figure that out.
Take a look into facts caching
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_variables.html#fact-caching.
i've read about `gather_subset` at configuration
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html> and setup
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/setup_module.html>... maybe that's
what
`!network` does? it's not clear from the documentation (just says
"gather
network facts" as far as i can find).
Facts is gathered from the remote host so connectivity is needed.
network is just facts about the network on the remote host, all the
other would need to connect to gathers the facts anyway, so !network
would not make any difference.
