[Vote ends 2026-11-18] What collections should stay in the Ansible community package

[Andersson007]

Polls: What collections should stay in the Ansible community package

See the topic for context.

Here are one-per-collection polls for all the currently included collections.

The polls have two options:

• Choose “Yes” if you think the collection satisfies the new inclusion criteria and should stay in the Ansible community package.
• Choose “No” if you think it should be excluded.

Let’s keep it open for 2 weeks, and I’ll close it on 2026-11-18.
It’s a community public poll. The results will be informational.
I’ll adjust the PR correspondingly.
Then we could conduct the second poll in the steering committee if needed.

Please vote.
