I’m being asked quite frequently, e.g. during AWX trainings I give, whether there’s a future for AWX. The project itself notes on the main repository: The last release of this repository was released on Jul 2, 2024. Releases of this project are now paused during a large scale refactoring. There’…

I just started scrolling through the commits and landed on one commit message that (paraphrasing) said the code was generated by Claude AI. I’m not a huge fan of AI, but setting that aside, how is code generated by Claude licensed? Can AI generated code be said to be free of end-user-agreements?

If awx is being refactored, “devel” commit counts are not likely to indicate the size or nature of any work in progress.

When we first announced our plans to streamline AWX releases , we made it clear that our goal isn’t to offer an exact replica of our commercial product for free. Instead we want to define the future of AWX with input and direct collaboration from the community. Forgive my skepticism, but it sounds…

Sorry but when you say Ansible here do you mean ansible-core or the ansible community package, as in pip install ansible?

Both, but most especially core.

I’m struggling a little to find a way to give this the emphasis that it deserves but, basically, I cannot envision any way that there would be drastic changes to releases for either of those projects. :grinning_face: Edit to clarify my meaning.
