  • 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.

• Facts Refreshening
  • Make setup.py/facts more pluggable
  • Fact gathering policy finer grained
