> > Ansible over time added the feature of 'collections' in addition to roles. It's a nice and convenient method for grouping roles together. Unfortunately this means we need to update a significant portion of the GAT learning path to use this, which we have not done yet, as it will take a bit of time to do. Collections come with the unpleasant additional aspect that they will be installed into a different path than roles, so we'll need to add a `collections` folder as well, or maybe `deps/collections` and `deps/roles` folders. When this happens we'll have to additionally modify the ansible.cfg to look for collections in this additional path.
