The RHEL 7 Extras version of the ansible package is dead and will not
receive updates.

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/7Server/en/Ansible/SRPMS/
has the "Ansible Engine" channel's RPMs ( not "RHEL Extras" ).
Compared to what happened with RHEL 7 Extras in the past, I anticipate
that the SRPM versions there will be rev'd more quickly.
