What's the future for the Ansible plugin? - OS Support

I just came around to playing around with ansible-core 2.17 and noticed it does not support RHEL 8 (and other EL 8 + other distros using Python 3.6-) in the full anymore.
Only if you install Python 3.7+, which makes everything related to dnf not work.

I suspect that EL 9 will move to ansible-core 2.17+ some time in the future, so thinking again about the plugin again, which (in the current structure) won’t support hosts with RHEL 8 (and older) anymore.

Anything already planned?

This is just my being curious thread, with the hope there is a solution before it gets urgent :slight_smile:
Cheers, lumarel

EL9 plans to keep 2.14 for its entire lifetime:
