Planned work

- Deprecate Python 2.6 support for managed/target hosts. The release
of
ansible-core==2.13will remove Python 2.6 support. - Introduce split-controller testing in
ansible-testto separate dependencies for the controller from dependencies on the target. - Extend the functionality of
module_defaultsaction_groupsto be created and presented by collections. - Implement object proxies, to expose restricted interfaces between parts of the code, and enable deprecations of attributes and variables.
