The following vote will be open until April 16th during the weekly community meeting.

Note that the “Yes” vote is coupled to the [Data Tagging PR](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/84621) being merged. If the PR is not merged into ansible-core 2.19.0, or removed later on before 2.19.0 is released, Ansible 11 will become End of Life once Ansible 12 is out no matter how this vote concludes.
