Yeah, Kevin catched up and epel-testing has the current version now. I was not aware of the mentioned ansible plans but until its related for the common admin the 2.9-branch has still maintenance support [*]. But this splitting makes packaging harder now. Anyway, the big picture is clearer now. Thanks. -- Leon [*] https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html
