Hello,

I just received this message, when my bug report was closed. (Because it worked when not using {{ item }}, I believed it was a valid way to loop)

As a consequence, I’d like to ask: should I hope that, in the near future, Ansible2 will be able to use with\_ loops along with roles? Or should I fallback to using old-style “includes” that, I have heard, are now fixed to work with with\_ loops?

Thanks in advance,

Leo Gaspard
