Python-2.5 you'll need to install Python-2.6 or better there or run
Ansible-2.3 until you can upgrade the system.
### Deprecations
* The behaviour when specifying --tags (or --skip-tags) multiple times on the command line
has changed so that the tags are merged together by default. See the
documentation for how to temporarily use the old behaviour if needed:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#merge-multiple-cli-tags
* The fetch module's validate_md5 parameter has been deprecated and will be
removed in 2.8. If you wish to disable post-validation of the downloaded
file, use validate_checksum instead.
### Minor Changes
* removed previously deprecated config option 'hostfile' and env var 'ANSIBLE_HOSTS'
* removed unused and deprecated config option 'pattern'

.. versionadded:: 2.3
This allows changing how multiple --tags and --skip-tags arguments are handled
on the command line. In Ansible up to and including 2.3, specifying --tags
more than once will only take the last value of --tags. Setting this config
value to True will mean that all of the --tags options will be merged
together. The same holds true for --skip-tags.
This allows changing how multiple :option:`--tags` and :option:`--skip-tags`
arguments are handled on the command line. Specifying :option:`--tags` more
than once merges all of the :option:`--tags` options together. If you want
the pre-2.4.x behaviour where only the last value of :option:`--tags` is used,
then set this to False. The same holds true for :option:`--skip-tags`.
.. note:: The default value for this in 2.3 is False. In 2.4, the
default value will be True. After 2.4, the option is going away.
Multiple --tags and multiple --skip-tags will always be merged together.
default value is True. After 2.8, the option will be removed.
Multiple :option:`--tags` and multiple :option:`--skip-tags` will always
