As part of the work carried out internally at Red Hat to make this change
the Ansible team has put together their own yum repos that can be used as a
direct source from upstream too ...

https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/rpm/

They have a variety of builds there that can be used:

  * release - the stable released version
  * preview - betas and release candidates leading up to a release
  * nightly - nightly builds of the devel and stable-* branches in git for
early testing or fixes

The nightly repos sound especially useful for an "early warning" CI setup
of testing ansible roles.
