Yes indeed!
Quoting my original email: "* ansible 1.9, 2.1, 2.2 have all been
built in CBS by different SIGs"
In fact the goal of the current effort is to make Ansible consumable
by other SIGs so that they depend on Config Management repositories if
they want to instead of tagging ansible itself into their own
repositories.

Agreed :)
