So, in other words, with include_role, import_role, and tasks, one can do
pretty much anything that roles, pre_tasks and post_tasks can do as well,
right?
Thank you so much for your help, that clarifies things for me :)
Stay safe!

`roles:` existed long before `include_role` and `import_role`. Many on the
core team would say that `import_role` and `include_role` are the future.
I personally would like to see `pre_tasks`, `roles`, and `post_tasks`
deprecated. Time will tell...

What exactly is the purpose of roles then?
I mean, is there a difference between roles and use include_role /
import_role inside tasks?

Primarily they were introduced to provide execution order when using
`roles:`. `post_tasks` is probably mostly useless. The execution order is:
pre_tasks
roles
tasks
post_tasks

What exactly is the purpose of pre_tasks/post_tasks when one can just put "pre"
tasks before the main tasks and "post" tasks after the main tasks in the
"tasks" directive?
I've read the documentation many times and I can't understand the need for
them. I must be missing something here, right?
