* 2.5 connection: network_cli  (gundalow, 16:57:03)
  * Right now in 2.5 you can do `connection: network_cli` for the Core
    maintained network modules  (gundalow, 16:57:22)
  * HTP(s) transports such as EAPI and NXAPI have not changed *yet*.
    It's likely that in 2.5 that they will not change, so you will still
    need `provider:\n  transport: eapi`  (gundalow, 16:58:57)
  * The aim is in 2.6 to add support for `connection: network_eapi`
    `connection: network_nxapi`  (gundalow, 16:59:35)
  * when using `connection: network_cli` you must use `become:` &
    `become_method`  (gundalow, 17:00:19)
  * User facing docs for network_cli are in
    https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/31807 which also details
    `become`  (gundalow, 17:03:37)
