For the record, and I [stated this](https://forum.ansible.com/t/error-invalid-extension-official-ansible-modules-must-have/5719/4) in another forum post, there are no plans to further extend ansible-test for collection testing. What it is, is basically what it is. (ansible-test is what it is for collection testing)
