Hi all,

I saw there is a new callback plugin that will [not output skipped tasks](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/a09ce4bd8734421785b1e46f7bb15a15848d59dc), seeing as its for Ansible 2, is it possible for it to be ported to Ansible 1.9?

I’ve tried removing the v2 namespaces in front of the methods, and setting CallbackBase to object… but things like result.\_task do not appear to exist.

Any help would be appreciated… thanks!

It is not that easy, 2.0 had a major refactor in the callback code and  
moved almost all the display into the plugins themselves, in 1.x a lot  
of this is hardcoded and not overridable by plugins so even if you  
port skippy it will not work to suppress all output on skipped tasks.
