Wait?  If something is used heavily in GNU/Linux, like by SuSE and others,
but also outside of GNU/Linux, like by other UNIX vendors, even network
vendors like Cisco, heavily GNU/Linux users like Microsoft, and yet others
... it's ... no longer viable?  I don't understand.  It must remain
GNU/Linux-only to be a valid LPI topic?!

I guess we should remove a lot of AT&T and BSD history then?

Huh?!  Now you're going the other way and saying Ansible is Fedora (Red
Hat) world-only?!  I don't understand.  And if we're going to limit things
to not from Red Hat, or IBM-Red Hat for that matter, then you might as well
drop all major distributions.  I.e., there are plenty of distros where
there is more IBM-Red Hat and Novell-SuSE copyrighted code, than the
distribution entity itself that produces the distro.

So I'm really at a loss here.  I don't understand this point at all.
Ansible is a SSH-based 'go do it' system automation solution that uses
YAML-centric playbooks made up of roles.

P.S.  If you know anything about Michael DeHaan, he's spent most of his
career making code for many GNU/Linux distributions, not just the Fedora
world-only.
