Hello,

our latest yum update brought ansible from 2.4.2.0 to 2.7.2 and now we are facing

   [WARNING]: flush_handlers task does not support when conditional

we need the handlers to be flushed at that point, as later tasks rely on previously reconfigured services to be reloaded. The "when" originates from our role definition:

----------------------
- hosts: all
  name:  "====== BLAH ======"
  roles:
    - { role: blah, when: has_blah|default(False) }
  tags:
    - blah-only
----------------------
(has_blah is an inventory variable, the hosts which "have blah" are spread over all our host groups. To organize them in a separate host group would be too much overhead as this characteristic can change very often).

I can't find this restriction mentioned anywhere in the changelogs or the documentation of handlers or "meta" and I wonder

a) why this - IMHO irritating - change of behaviour has been introduced

and

b) what would be the best way to work around it


Any help or hint is appreciated.
