Hi,

I would like to use ansible for the whole “chain” when setting up a virtual machine in VMWare.  
For me it would be leveraging ansible to perform a clone on a specific VM, and then change properties in the clone.

I see that ansible have an module for this: [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/vsphere\_guest\_module.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/vsphere_guest_module.html)  
My concern is that it’s using pysphere which seems to be a dead project: [https://github.com/argos83/pysphere](https://github.com/argos83/pysphere)

Are there any plans on using the [pyVmomi](https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi) instead?
