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?](https://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-ai-policy/42642/1) - 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.
