Announce Ansible 11 lifetime extension
Depends on the result of the vote in https://forum.ansible.com/t/40851/11, and on whether Data Tagging makes it into ansible-core 2.19.
So this should only be merged once:
- [x] the vote has been accepted and
- [ ] ansible-core 2.19.0 rc1 is out.
LGTM, but holding off on formal approval until this is ready to merge
