Hi all-

The Ansible Core team will be releasing out-of-cycle releases for 2.16.2, 2.15.8, and 2.14.13 on 11 December 2023 instead of waiting until our next scheduled release on 29 January 2024.

These releases include fixes for non-security-related regressions introduced by a recent CVE mitigation that were deemed important enough to ship before our usual holiday release moratorium.
