[EPEL-devel] Re: ansible-core-2.11.x in CentOS stream 9
I believe ansible-core includes a "dependency manager" depending on your
definition. The ansible-galaxy command in ansible-core can install ansible
collections so that's you can install modules that you may need.
It is similar in scope to pip, rubygem, cargo, or any other of the language
package installers.
It does not resolve based on what modules/plugins are used in your
playbooks but it will resolve dependencies between collection dependencies
if needed (and those deps were properly listed).
I know that Nirik has plans to get newer ansible packages into epel which
provide an all-in-one experience by installing about 75 collections which
give you an experience similar what was included in ansible-2.9 but I'll
let him speak to how he wants to do that.

Not generally. ansible-core has been added to CS9 in support of
System Roles only. This is analogous to how ansible is made available
in RHEL 8. System Roles will include the modules/plugins it needs to
manage the various areas of the OS, but they are not general purpose
ansible packages.

I'll leave these for Kevin or someone else to answer in terms of EPEL 9
plans.
