Hello, It would be nice, if someone from developers give some information about future plans. As I understood, currently it’s not possible send commands in an interactive session (command streamed before receiving the switch’s prompt are ignored). It could be useful feature to work with routers, switches and other devices witch don’t support python and has specific terminals. Also it could speed-up play, because it don’t need every time to establish ssh connection (if ControlPersist not available). Are there any plans to implement interactive session support? ---

We normally talk about new features in irc and this mailing list. Interactive sessions is not one of those features, Ansible is a batch system, for interactive sessions you already have terminal multiplexers (cssh/pssh/etc). ---
