Hi,

What is the best practice to manage project `foobar` uninstall action ?

a. Write two playbooks example: `foobar_install.yml` and `foobar_uninstall.yml`  
and two roles `roles/foobar_install_and_upgrade/...` and `roles/foobar_uninstall/...`

b. Or only one playbook `foobar` and one roles `roles/foobar/...` and use `--extra-vars` to select action to execute `install` (by default) or `uninstall` ?  
Something as explained in [https://medium.com/@mykidong/howto-organize-ansible-playbook-to-install-uninstall-start-and-stop-kafka-and-kafka-connect-e7250c5def9d](https://medium.com/@mykidong/howto-organize-ansible-playbook-to-install-uninstall-start-and-stop-kafka-and-kafka-connect-e7250c5def9d)

Best regards,  
Stéphane
