[Pulp-dev] BREAKING CHANGE: Pulp 3 Installer

[Matthias Dellweg]

I can only assume that the symlinks would work from a technical
perspective. But i think what he meant was to make the change and add
symlinks for the old names around (for a [little] while).
It will probably be impossible to get those symlinks into the
collection, so the question is, can we have them in git anyway. Is
there something like a ".galaxyignore" file? Maybe [0]?

In this case, the old role names aren't valid based on the collection spec, so we don't see keeping those invalid names as something we want to do. As a related aside, Ansible collections will be the primary way these roles are distributed soon so that compatibility is driving this change.
