Hello,

I was looking for a clean/nice way to reprovision only a select few roles.  
Maybe we could tag roles or have a tag-like option that would only include specified roles?

So if part of our site.yml looks something like this:

We don’t need a way to specify roles on the CLI, but rather, we simply need to make it so tags applied to roles result in tags applied to their respective task includes.

- { role: foo, tags: [‘asdf’, ‘bar’] }

I’ve got an open ticket on this.
