My real use case is a patching playbook. I have a collection of servers I want to patch one at a time (serial: 1) but there are a set of decommision steps I only want to run once for the entire group. Then patch the servers one by one. Then there is a set of commission tasks I want to run once for the entire group. If I put run once on the pre/post tasks. It still gets run once per play eg once per host.
If it helps, the full context is this is a cassandra cluster. I want to stop the repair service, patch the whole cluster 1 node at a time, then start the repair service.
