Release Manager
---------------
Ansible Core Team
Planned work
============
- Bump the minimum Python version requirement for the controller to Python 3.8. This will be a hard requirement.
- Deprecate Python 2.6 support for managed/target hosts. The release of ``ansible-core==2.13`` will remove Python 2.6 support.
- Introduce split-controller testing in ``ansible-test`` to separate dependencies for the controller from dependencies on the target.
- Extend the functionality of ``module_defaults`` ``action_groups`` to 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.
