After the rework of the Ansible Engine core many of the useful features/modules are now missing. These modules seem like they belong in core but since the devs say otherwise I would like to see Redhat bring these modules into the Redhat supported ecosystem. These I see are required part of the core or at least a collection supplied by Redhat that is deemed safe to use:
lvm
lvol
filesystem
mount
parted
archive/unarchive/any compress or decompression, etc
json_query
These all used to be part of core and now you have to use the community version. The issue with that is our business does not allow the use of community collections because it's not been scanned and verified it won't harm infrastructure. And there are security issues with using community because you don't know the people creating the content.
It would be nice if these modules would be placed in some existing collection that Redhat has certified such as rhel_system_roles or utils collections.
Business impact:
Would be easier to code and use ansible if these were available within the Redhat ecosystem.
