Like @utoddl I also agree that communication should be better handled in this case. But I also agree with his call for caution on interpreting the signs here. Sometimes no news are just… no news. But we only know for sure after we have updates. We are still missing on those.
That being said,
There’s been some discussions about this in Ansible AI Policy? - not sure whether the AWX team is following that or not (if we cannot get them to update the status of the refactor, I am not holding my breath they will stop and digress about how they are using LLMs).
Respectfully, that’s quite a jump to an inference based on too little information. The fact that the commits are in the main/devel branch does not mean they were not worked out in other branches before merging, so please hold your horses.
And whilst I cannot vouch for most of the developers in the “Ansible-sphere” individually (I can do that for some) nor for most of the specific teams, I am confident that some basic practices are in place, including working in branches.
