Remember that Ansible isn't technically config mgmt, but rather it's an
orchestrator (which happens to be able to run things in an idempotent
way, and being idempotent is a common config mgmt. property, hence the
common confusion).

The other reason this probably comes up is that by virtue of being an
orchestrator, multi-machine/container designs are more obvious, even
though a distributed definition and architecture (which Ansible can't
help with) is the more appropriate design.

Unfortunately I don't think there is a correct way to specify this
latter design pattern yet, but I've been thinking a lot about this.
