In the ansible 2.5 changelog, it mentioned the following

- Added a configuration file that a site administrator can use to specify modules to exclude from being used.

However when I search for the word “exclude” on [Ansible Configuration Settings — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/config.html), I didn’t find anything.

Also I tried to click on “Edit on Github” button on the top of the page hoping to see the history of the changes and I got a 404 error.

The ansible.cfg file under the example folder (i.e. [History for examples/ansible.cfg - ansible/ansible · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commits/340a7be7c382d441475b64adbfd65e605786cd4f/examples/ansible.cfg)) doesn’t have this info as well.

Where can I find an more updated ansible.cfg with all the possible settings for ansible 2.5?
