We want to do this as a check that all of our hosts are in synch; we have a
playbook per system type, and we don't want the check to fail if e.g. the
only host of a given type is down (which would thus be a 100% failure of
that playbook).
We do it like this:
- import_playbook: thing1.yml

My use case involved roles. I had something like

In the role, there was a task that ran on localhost (via delegate_to), but
only once (via run_once) for the whole batch of hosts.
Everything worked fine, except that if t

such that if the task has conditions that cause it to get skipped on the

Why are you setting "verbosity: 3"? According to

Even with Mitogen's current limitations, it cut run times about in half for
