Since Ansible was added as an "unsupported dependency" for the System
Roles feature, it's a bit different from other things in that it's
unlikely to receive updates.

Users of Ansible should probably avoid depending on the Extras version
unless they're okay with no fixes to it... :/

Ansible upstream has added rpm packages for those who might get suck in that situation.  It won't be exactly like the epel versions and we [upstream] haven't quite worked out all the things (like having an rpm with the repo config  files in it) but hopefully it will be useful.

(Official releases are packaged in the releases subdir, hopefully the other subdirs are equally self explanatory)
