Ansible 2.5 is EOL as of yesterday (2019-05-16) because 🎉 Ansible 2.8 2.9 is here.
2.8: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-announce/OmkhL4zN1oo
2.9: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-announce/chcjYohq6dA
I have not reviewed the ansible-st2 playbooks to see what we can do if we bump the version to 2.6.
2.6 has lots of bugfixes for include* and import*.
2.7 makes using vars with include* and import* more consistent.
2.8 adds support for content collections (repos like this one with more than one role). better jinja defaults if intermediate dict doesn't exist.
2.9 changes loop+var safety handling. ansible-galaxy collections support improvements
Current ansible support matrix for 2.2 and above:
| Ansible Release | Latest Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| devel | 2.10 (unreleased, trunk) | In development |
| 2.9 | 2.9.2 (2019-12-04) | Supported (security and general bug fixes) |
| 2.8 | 2.8.7 (2019-11-13) | Supported (security and critical bug fixes) |
| 2.7 | 2.7.15 (2019-11-13) | Supported (security fixes) |
| 2.6 | 2.6.20 (2019-10-17) | Unsupported (end of life) |
| 2.5 | 2.5.15 (2019-02-21) | Unsupported (end of life) |

2.9 is out so 2.6 is EOL.
