V2 wrapper role variable issue

Hi,

I have two roles 1- community-role 2- wrapper-role defined below

Role: community-role
defaults:
main.yml

`

community-role/defaults/main.yml

super_users : False

`

Role: wrapper-role
default:
main.yml
meta:
main.yml

`

wrapper-roledefaults/main.yml

super_users :

  • user: user1
    shell: “/bin/bash”
    vpn: True
    data: “Blaaa”
    other: “asdsadasd”
  • user: user2
    shell: “/bin/bash”
    vpn: False
    data: “Blaaa2”
    other: “asdsadasd”
    `

`

wrapper-role/meta/main.yml

dependencies:

  • {role: community-role}
    `
  • In v1 wrapper role super_users would overwrite community
  • In v2 community super_users would not be overwriten and will have False value

Since both variables are defined in defaults/main.yml they should malleable and easily overridden by the wrapper role
I tend to user wrapper roles a lot to add extra functionality to community roles. Is that by design or bug in v2 ?
