These diffs of the rsync ACLs are not very useful. For me it is

impossible to see if and what has changed. It also seems we have to
maintain the ACL in 4 or 5 different files. Can the rsync ACL not be
handled in a more ansible way? I don't know much about ansible but
wouldn't it be possible to maintain the ACL one time with something
like this:
- name rsync acl
template: some template with a loop statement over items
with_items:
- ip1
- ip2
- host1
- host2
That would make the diffs readable any maybe we could maintain the
rsync ACL in only one place. Before trying to implement it I wanted
to see if there are some better ideas/ways to implement this
'correctly'.
Yeah, I am all for this change. We should be able to use ansible
variables and a template and make it much more readable.
Additionally we can then easily see who added a line when.
If someone wants to come up with a patch and test it out, please do and
we can look at it as a freeze break.
