For those not aware ansible has been deprecated in RHEL7 from the extras repository.
In the RHEL specific world it's now in an optional "product" (basically an optional subscription) that is part of any RHEL subscription, but it's opt in.
As a result ansible is back in the EPEL7 repository for 2.5.0+ , having been removed for ansible 2.4.2 when it got introduced to the RHEL extras repo.
I have no idea what, if anything, the CentOS team will do with the ansible in the CentOS7 extras repository.
That's a good question, as "orphaning" it would be an issue for all people now getting it directly from Extras, if they don't have epel added (also "opt-in")
AFAICS, nothing is pushed to git.centos.org anymore for it : https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!ansible.git
So I guess it would be a question for the centos-devel list : - either we orphan it (and the other pkgs required for it) from extras - or we try to build those and continue to provide ansible
