@Radoslaw, this is also a code issue as noted above.

"Rocky is extended maintenance and it was not meant to support Ansible 2.9." How is anyone supposed to know this? It is not in the code and it is not documented.

The issue is not just with this one issue but with the slew of undocumented and/or buggy code in numerous projects which in many cases is just due to lazy development and seems to be prevalent with many OS projects. This one issue then gets coupled with thousands of other nuances. Are there any regression tests with kolla-ansible and how often are these run?

Rocky has been out for ~18 months now and is now on 7.2.1. I couldn't have been the first person to see this undocumented issue and probably won't be the last. While it took me maybe an hour to resolve the issue, it will equivalently take hundreds, if not thousands, of others approximately the same leading to a lot of wasted time all over a 5 minute requirement implementation and a 30 second inclusion in the docs.
