     @thomasfuchs Every time I feel like I can just do away with my big hairy Ansible scripts with something simpler, it only works for so long, before I need to add "a small Ansible wrapper" to it, just for convenience/security/etc.

     Fast-forward a year and I have big hairy Ansible scripts again and I have learned NOTHING.

     Idea: good
     Execution: bad

     And, as it happens with many other technologies such as SQL, the sunk costs are too high and few people dare to propose decent alternatives (or fail miserably when they try).
