• [x] Ansible Core 2.11 added support for role argument specification. Unfortunately, roles that include the argument specification are currently not usable on still-supported ansible-2.9 and ansible-base-2.10. See https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/74525 for more details about the error and how to replicate it.

Since this makes it impossible to start using new features of Ansible Core without breaking the compatibility with older Ansible releases, maybe older releases should be updated just enough to ignore the unknown metadata?

• [x] #74558 ansible-test: Error if non-standard dirs exist under plugins/ https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/main/collection_requirements.rst#modules-plugins Are there any cases where we'd want someone to add a new plugins subdirectory that isn't fully defined in ansible-core?
