Update for Fedora 24 fixes CVE-2017-7466, enhancing Ansible with multiple bugfixes and improvements.
Backport fix for https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22572 ---- Many bugfixes and improvements

Summary

Ansible is a radically simple model-driven configuration management,

multi-node deployment, and remote task execution system. Ansible works

over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed

on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and

are transferred to managed machines automatically.

Backport fix for https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22572 ---- Many

bugfixes and improvements. See

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.3/CHANGELOG.md for full list of

changes. rst and html docs have been split out into a ansible-docs subpackage.

Includes fix for CVE-2017-7466
