Re: [ansible-project] nested roles

I highly disagree with this, and would be interested in a pointer to the documentation that you say claims "importing a role in the tasks of another role is a bad idea" since I've never seen that in the official Ansible documentation. Explicitly importing or including the role provides more

While the use of json_query obscures the actual structure that you're dealing with (and you haven't provided an example), this looks an awful lot like you're taking something where you already have all of the information you want in a list, and turning it into three lists. Is there a reason you
