You are correct.
1) The change is to allow for hosts to be blocked via the ansible
playbook using a jinja template versus adding a version per system.
2) The change was tested and deployed on download servers to try and
get our rsync usable from some bad hosts.
3) Kevin asked me to put the change into all the templates before I forgot.
4) The change only comes into place if you have a variable defined
which is only in 1 playbook.
So the above sounds reasonable but there was no details or patch to
ansible to be able to access impact.
