Hello,

i’m new to this group. I installed awx version 21.5.0 on RHEL release 8.6 using awx release 0.28.0 and awx-operator release 0.28.0.  
why the ansible-core is already updated to 2.14.2? Is it bound to the python version of each respective RHEL release?  
is it possible to downgrade the ansible-core version?

ansible [core 2.14.2]  
config file = None  
configured module search path = ['/home/runner/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']  
ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible  
ansible collection location = /home/runner/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections  
executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible  
python version = 3.9.16 (main, Dec 8 2022, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.3.1 20221121 (Red Hat 11.3.1-4)] (/usr/bin/python3)  
jinja version = 3.1.2  
libyaml = True

reason why i need the lower version of ansible-core is i’m managing RHEL6 servers and the as mentioned in the [https://access.redhat.com/articles/6977724](https://access.redhat.com/articles/6977724) quote “RHEL 6 utilizes Python 2.6, and with the release of Ansible Core 2.13, managed nodes running Python 2.6 are no longer supported. Ansible Core 2.13 is planned to be included in RHEL 8.7 and 9.1.”

thank you in advance.
