EPEL-ANNOUNCE Re: retirement of ansible-2.9.x

[Michael Trip]

Hi Kevin,

What does that mean for the ansible rpm package in general? Do we have
to remove the ansible RPM from our systems and install ansible through
pip ? Or will ansible-core also land in EPEL 7? My apologies if i don´t
understand it correctly.

Kind regards,

Michael Trip
