Hi all:

This Pull Request was closed due to "The 2.9 release is only accepting 
security fixes at this time in its lifecycle. As such, this PR does not 
meet the requirements to be backported to 2.9.":

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/76146

However, availability of releases beyond Ansible 2.9 for regular users is 
limited:
- EPEL 7: ansible-2.9.25-1.el7.noarch.rpm 
<https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/a/ansible-2.9.25-1.el7.noarch.rpm>
- EPEL 8: ansible-2.9.25-1.el8.noarch.rpm 
<https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/a/ansible-2.9.25-1.el8.noarch.rpm>
- Fedora 34: ansible-2.9.25-1.fc34.noarch.rpm 
<https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/34/Everything/x86_64/Packages/a/ansible-2.9.25-1.fc34.noarch.rpm>

This seems to be a conflict between what the Ansible devel believe to be 
user requirements, and what the users believe to be requirements. Something 
is getting blocked in the middle - perhaps the move to collections?

In any case, please re-review the true state of Ansible 2.9, and whether or 
not it should be considered "current". If Ansible 2.9 is really no longer 
current, is there effort being made by Ansible devel to ensure that Ansible 
2.11 and later are published to users on standard channels?

I really don't want to fork Ansible 2.9 and manage my own patches. 
Especially for simple patches like the one I referenced.

Thanks,
