- **Ansible-Config**

  - Extend the ability of the current config system by adding creating an ansible-config command and add the following:

    - Dump existing config settings

    - Update / write a config entry

    - Show available options (ini entry, yaml, env var, etc)

  - Proposal found in ansible/proposals issue `#35 <https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/35>`_.
  - Initial PR of code found in ansible/ansible PR `#12797 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/12797>`_.

- **Inventory Overhaul**

  - Current inventory is overtly complex, non modular and mostly still a legacy from inception. We also want to add a common set of features to most inventory sources but are hampered by the current code base.
  - Proposal found in ansible/proposals issue `#41 <https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/41>`_.
