I’ve stumbled upon this collection when looking for [possibly unmaintained collections in ACP 14.0.0](https://forum.ansible.com/t/45864) because there hasn’t been a new release since [Aug 8, 2025](https://github.com/dell/ansible-unity/releases/tag/2.1.0). There are recent commits in the repo, though. Well, maybe there hasn’t been anything important to release, I don’t know 🤷 But it looks like the last CI run has been 9 months ago. So I think their [CI doesn’t satisfy ACP requirements](https://github.com/dell/ansible-unity/issues/66), and they didn’t react on this. I think this is somewhat problematic. ---

I pinged some folks who recently commited, let’s see if something happens. If there is no reaction in, say, a week or two, I guess we could start the removal process. ---

I think that this collection [violates our requirements](https://github.com/dell/ansible-unity/issues/66) because there haven’t been any CI runs / sanity tests since Oct 6, 2025. Since the maintainers didn’t react or respond, I suggest to remove the collection from Ansible 16. Personally, I would prefer to remove it from Ansible 15 but if I understand the [process](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_package_removal.html#id11) correctly we’ll have to wait until 16. _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.ansible.com/t/vote-ended-on-2026-08-25-acp-14-0-0-possible-violation-of-collection-requirements-from-dellemc-unity/46085/3))_ _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.ansible.com/t/vote-ended-on-2026-08-25-acp-14-0-0-possible-violation-of-collection-requirements-from-dellemc-unity/46085/3))_ ---

The vote ended today. 9 steering committee members voted in favor of removing `dellemc.unity` from Ansible 16. There haven’t been any votes from the community. This means we’ve reached the quorum and the vote is accepted. _edit_: [Deprecate dellemc.unity](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/pull/729)
