Due to some “interesting” in this one, I considered removing ansible cow selection and going to a pure-python cowsay implementation at one point in time 🙂

This of course would mean everyone would get cows, which I think helps the world become a happier place.

Don’t worry, I’ve no plans to do either of these things.
