So after having a very interesting few chats with @nitzmahone (thanks for those btw 
I appreciate it and it was nice meeting you!) it seems I, the instigator of this latest dust-up, need to dole out some props where they are due!
@sivel and the others involved: Thanks for your work on Support core packaging operations against older python versions by sivel 路 Pull Request #86432 路 ansible/ansible 路 GitHub. If this comes to fruition in a next version of Ansible, it might just be the fix we鈥檝e been looking for (from the sound of it I know I am) to de-couple the target鈥檚 Python version from what Ansible needs.
