I moved the above two posts to a new topic since the discussion of whether the awx.awx collection should be part of the Ansible community distribution is somewhat unrelated and (as the second post shows) potentially very confusing in the context of the orignal discussion (Edit: fixed link…).
@MalfuncEddie collections included in the Ansible community distribution have to satisfy certain rules. Removal from the community distrubtion is totally unrelated to availability of the collection on Ansible Galaxy or Automation Hub, and what plans Red Hat has with AWX.
Also the steering commitee has no say on AWX and anything AWX related, so the only ones who can say something on AWX are Red Hat. (Some individuals of the steering committee are RH employees and might or might not have more insight, or are part of the discussion; I’m only talking of the steering committee as a whole here.) The steering committee, on the other hand, is responsible for the Ansible community distribution.
