Yes, when we first started to package collections we made sure (although I have not checked if anything changed) that the seperately packaged collections would override the bundled ones in the ansible package. So, while the ansible collection of collections and ansible-core are (and should be) closely tied together, the seperately packaged ansible collections should be free to update as long as they continue to work ok with ansible-core thats provided/etc. So, in practice I personally have been thinking of 'ansible' as the stable collection of collections, and the seperately packaged collections as 'next' or 'fast moving' channel. Just my 2cents. kevin
