I would agree that there’s not really a good way out the situation. But just to get this clear: I want to remove `purestorage.flasharray` and `purestorage.flashblade` from the Ansible Community Package. I think this is important: They’re dead, there won’t be any fixes anymore. Especially not for incompatibilities with future ansible-core releases. Creating new repos for the old collections would be a possible solution. But I’m not sure if this is really feasible. How about adding `everpure.flasharray` and `everpure.flashblade` to ACP 15, and also `purestorage.flasharray` 1.45.0 and `purestorage.flashblade` 1.28.0? This way, we would have the redirects _and_ the new collections they’re pointing to. This would somehow be against [stop including new collections in the Ansible community package](https://forum.ansible.com/t/46339/13). But we could argue that the everpure collections aren’t _new_, just successors to already existing ones. And while it’s not great that the redirects and renaming has been done in a minor release, at least we won’t have this in a minor ACP release but in the next major release. I didn’t have closer look at the new collections recently, so I can’t say if there are any issues that might prevent us from adding them to the ACP. Just thinking loud loud about what to do to get out of this situation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.ansible.com/t/acp-what-to-do-with-purestorage-flashblade-and-flasharray/46435)._
