   2. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/69727 - fixes deprecation of modules in collections: right now ansible-test will scream at you if you don't want to remove a module for a ansible-base version (felixfontein, 15:37:29)
   3. https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/178 and https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/69680 make sure that people know *WHAT* exactly is deprecating something (or *WHERE* a new feature was added) - no matter whether it's about versions or dates (felixfontein, 15:38:32)

7. testing of website build for ansible-2.10 (abadger1999, 17:01:57)
   1. one issue we have is that the non-website-build ansible-test tests do not check the whole schema (abadger1999, 17:28:43)
   2. ACTION: abadger1999 to talk to mattclay about some possibilities he has for rectifying the schema. (abadger1999, 17:29:09)

   4. AGREED: we can rely on the current tests in ansible-test (ansible-doc parsing for everything and avlidate-modules does a 90% shcema validation for modules) to cover the most problematic test cases for 2.10. (abadger1999, 17:48:16)
   5. AGREED: ansible/ansible will continue to test all parts of the docsite that ship within the ansible/ansible repo (abadger1999, 17:49:06)
