Is this a product specification?

Thanks.

Yes, this is the output from yum.

There has been some discussion of pretty-printing (not just the native pprint, more I mean) the output from the CLI in general, though that’s too verbose when that happens, so it would have to be a (configurable) option.

I expect to include pretty-print in the option of ansible.
Thank you for your time.
