Polls: What collections should stay in the Ansible community package

See the [topic](https://forum.ansible.com/t/proposal-trimming-down-the-ansible-community-package-and-collection-removal-roadmap/46563/20) 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](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/steering/community_steering_committee.html#collection-inclusion-criteria-and-process) 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](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/pull/4113) correspondingly.  
Then we could conduct the second poll in the steering committee **if needed**.

Please vote.
