We are looking forward to that. *However*, there is a lot to be said for regularly re-installing your hosts from scratch. This ensures your installer scripts don't rot as host system "features" accrete over time. This is prone to happen when you Ansible- or Puppet-manage servers. Things get added, things get removed. Often you miss hidden dependencies that sneak in; you don't want to be discovering those when you're trying to reinstall a production host after a catastrophic failure.
Yes, and being able to Ansible-manage even the re-installation would make the whole process that much nicer :)
