According to the Ansible team, support for listing platforms in
role `meta/main.yml` files is being removed.
Instead, they recommend using `galaxy_tags`
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.17/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.17.rst
"Remove the galaxy_info field platforms from the role templates"
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82453
Many roles already have tags such as "rhel", "redhat", "centos", and "fedora".
I propose that we ensure all of the system roles have these tags.
Some of our roles support Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, and others.
We should add tags for those e.g. the ssh role already has tags for "debian" and "ubuntu".
In addition - for each version listed under `platforms.EL` - add a tag like `elN`.
Q: Why not use a delimiter between the platform and the version e.g. `el-10`?
This is not allowed by ansible-lint:
```
meta-no-tags: Tags must contain lowercase letters and digits only., invalid: 'el-10'
meta/main.yml:1
```
So we cannot use uppercase letters either.
Q: Why not use our own meta/main.yml field?
No other fields are allowed by ansible-lint:
```
syntax-check[specific]: 'myfield' is not a valid attribute for a RoleMetadata
```
Q: Why not use some other field?
There are no other applicable or suitable fields.
Q: What happens when we want to support versions like `N.M`?
Use the word "dot" instead of "." e.g. `el10dot3`.
Similarly - use "dash" instead of "-".
We do not need tags such as `fedoraall`.
The `fedora` tag implies that the role works on all supported versions of fedora.
Otherwise, use tags such as `fedora40` if the role only supports specific versions.
Teaming support is dropped in EL10. Provide an error to users who attempt
to use teaming and suggest that they use bonding instead. Skip teaming
tests on EL10.

ansible-core 2.14 is now the current version of Ansible. This version
does not support `args: warn: false` so we have to remove it from the
network role. Users will need to use `COMMAND_WARNINGS` in their
Ansible configuration in order to suppress the warning in older versions
of Ansible such as 2.9, 2.11.
In addition, the gating tests are getting stricter about using new best
practices, such as using `true`, `false` for booleans instead of `yes`,
`no`; use of spaces in Jinja expressions; etc. These issues were
addressed.
The `tests/` directory contains far too many cases of non-recommended
practices, so this directory has been exempted.

The Ansible developers say that `min_ansible_version` in meta/main.yml
must be a `string` value like `"2.9"`, not a `float` value like `2.9`.
