Hi all,

Hi, Orion
Thanks for raising this question.

Indeed!

I wonder if it's possible to continue to update collections to the
newest versions anyway. If someone wants to use the collection version
provided in "big ansible", they would use ansible 6.3.0 with all
included. If they want a newer collection, they can install a separate
newest RPM.

I agree. I think we should update collections to the next major version
(if it exists) after each RHEL minor release and then keep them updated
with point releases in between. We update the ansible bundle to the next
major version that corresponds to RHEL's ansible-core version at each
RHEL minor release, so it makes to do the same with the standalone
collection packages. Collection versions that are EOL upstream won't be
tested with newer ansible-core versions.

Does this capture the general sentiment?

- ansible is the static/stable collection of collections paired with the provided ansible-core for the life of the point release

- ansible-collection-* packages will be at least the version of the collection in ansible, and optionally higher while giving due diligence to avoiding breaking changes.
