Some sort of longer message about how policies are changing

[abadger]

Since Ansible-2.10+ is being created from the decentralized collections, there are a lot of policies about the ansible package that are different from the Ansible-2.9 collections. We should call this out to end users in the release notes for ansible-2.10.0.

I think a longer blog post/article and a short blurb with link to the blog post may be the best way to do this.

Release notes:

Ansible-2.10+ is built from collections maintained by a decentralized network of community members. As such, the policies around the Ansible package (deprecation cycles, release schedules, new features, etc) are changing to acommodate what the community contributors need. Please see this blog post for an overview and how to have a say in the direction of policy changes:

Some things to put into the blog post:

• Policies that we know have changed:
  • Deprecations can now be added in the middle of a cycle
  • Removals may occur without a deprecation. That's up to the collection owner and how their releases sync with the ansible releases
  • New features can be added in the middle of a cycle.
