This question is targeted at Matt Martz and Brian Coca (but anyone should
feel free to jump in). I recently asked a question about how to access a
variable in a task. Matt, you recommended
hostvars[inventory_hostname][item], and Brian, you recommended
lookup('vars', item). I remember a discussion that included you both a few
years ago where Matt, you promoted hostvars, and Brian, you promoted vars,
but I can't remember where it was (freenode? github?). So each of you has
a preference, and I'm curious why. Both are documented approaches, but I
don't see any documentation around the subtleties associated with each
Care to share?
Thanks
Rob
