Is awx-ee old, should we be worried?

[flku-snp]

I can see in the release and maintanance Dokument that a Version smaller than 2.16 is considered
end-of-life.

awx-ee/execution-environment.yml

Line 9 in 00fe06c

package_pip: ansible-core>=2.15.0rc2,<2.16

Should I be worried that the standard execution environment is stalling ?
Why do You choose this Version and how would I explain my colleagues that it probably is a good choice for us as well ?
I dont want to be negligent neither do I want to swim alone in waters You consider development/unstable.

#254 @bcoca do You think awx and awx-ee is behind and should put effort in upgrading python and ansible to avoid creating a growing drift (and resulting pain) ?

@dmzoneill I see your awx is on 3.11 as well : ansible/awx#14771
Can we hold our breaths for some progress ?

I have a hard time forming an opinion since i didn't know this project existed nor what it was

@bcoca Thanks for commenting!
Say I have a dev/stg/prod environment and want to run ansible-playbook against these servers:

• I want some way of triggering remote execution
• I want to run the same same version of ansible (and collections) against all envs
• I want a way of central log/compliance monitoring.
• for that I want to run playbooks from git, and perhaps seperate inventories.

What do You consider a straight forward, compatibile and maintainable way of achiving that ?

Any update on this subject ?
Why execution environment are not updated to latest Ansible version ?
