It looks like the wti.remote collection is effectively unmaintained. According to the current Ansible Community Package Collections Removal Process, we consider removing it in a future version of the Ansible Community Package. Please see Unmaintained collection: wti.remote for more information or to announce that you’re interested in taking over the maintenance of (a fork of)
wti.remote.At least one month after this announcement appears here and in the collections issue tracker, the Ansible Community Steering Committee will vote on whether this collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed, or whether it will be kept. If it will be removed, this will happen earliest in Ansible Community Package 14. Please note that you can still manually install the collection with
ansible-galaxy collection install wti.remoteeven when it has been removed from Ansible Community Package.
