Hi Raj

disclaimer: I work for Red Hat, but this is not an official support 
statement.

Your base 2.10 statement you quote refers to *upstream* community Ansible.

Red Hat only provides support through an Ansible Automation Platform 
subscription. This is the *downstream* enterprise supported software. That 
will include support for 2.10 at a future date through the AAP sub. 

As for Nornir...
Never heard of it before, and never had a customer asking about it before. 
That doesn't infer good or bad.

>From https://nornir.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ this stood out to me:
Nornir is an automation framework written in python to be used *with* 
python.
Nornir aims to solve those problems by providing a *pure python framework*
...and will provide a common framework to *write* “plugins”

So basically it's inventing the wheel and writing code. This is exactly 
what Ansible was written to avoid and address. This is why there is circa 
4500 modules already out there so you don't have to write code!

I hope that helps.

Phil.
