Attention #Ansible users on #openSUSE:

Ansible 2.17.x (or rather ansible-core 2.17.x) is dropping support for managing machines with Python 3.6 or older. Which unfortunately means #SLES15 or #Leap 15.x are no longer supported out of the box. While you can install a newer python on those machines, that might not always be feasible.

Hence I will keep packaging the 2.16.x version of ansible-core as ansible-core-2.16 (and ansible-test-2.16) in addition to the 2.17.x ones.

For more details see my mail to the factory mailing list.
