I had an automatic upgrade push me up to ansible 2.0.0.2 today (from 1.9.4) and that broke some of my playbooks. I think that there may be a bug related to delegate\_to, as it was using the user None instead of the user for the playbook. I tried to set remote\_user in the task as well, that made no difference. I ended up rolling back to 1.9.4 and that worked just fine.
