Sorry for not replying earlier, I’ve somehow overlooked it.
I’ve already checked this in Possibly unmaintained collections in Ansible 12. Sorry, I didn’t mention this explicitly here or on Bullhorn.
I don’t think so. For me, the removal process stopped when you did a new release. That’s why I’ve checked the collection in my list (see above) and closed Unmaintained collection: Removal from the Ansible Community Package.
