IIRC, Ansible had this exact variable precedence long before they were acquired by RH. I get that hating RH is in vogue currently, but let's keep it grounded in reality please. EDIT: And for the record, these Ansible precedence rules are not a bad thing. Once you are somewhat familiar with them, it allows you to write incredibly flexible and extensible playbooks and roles.

As an Ansible person, I couldn’t agree more. Being able to manage variables at basically any level of precedence is extremely useful. I am also ever more deeply concerned about IBM’s hell-bent purge of all the good left at Redhat. I had thought it would take them less time to destroy Redhat, but I’m sure they wanted to make sure they spent time “listening” before making all these ecosystem-eroding changes.
