ansible tower modules - use awx cli instead of deprecated tower_cli?

As announced here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/awx-project/tower_cli|sort:date/awx-project/ZAlhpLMBzVw/D7h8MSgbBQAJ

and specified in the readme for the tower_cli:
https://github.com/ansible/tower-cli

the original tower_cli is deprecated .

However, all of the ansible modules for configuring awx/tower appear to still only use the deprecated tower_cli.
E.g. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/tower_organization_module.html#tower-organization-module

Is it recommended to use the new cli in conjunction with these modules? Is there a newer collection somewhere with newer versions of the modules that use the new cli?

Is there a newer collection somewhere with newer versions of the modules that use the new cli?

Yes, it is distributed at: https://galaxy.ansible.com/awx/awx

It does not require the old tower-cli. It doesn’t require the current AWX CLI either, but some modules will in the future.
