Yeah, ansible is just full of these scenarios. Even in the best of times it demands an awful amount of verbosity.

Half the time I see people land with no more idempotency than they had before, which is supposed to be one of the big draws. A lot of the things they are frontending are inherently idempotent, and a lot of other times the modules themselves fail to be safe to run multiple times for the admins input. I've been shocked how fragile some modules have been given its regard in the industry.
