Enhancement: Remove the centralized version caps and lower bounds on the ansible.posix and community.general collections so that all roles track the latest releases. The runtime_collection_requirements entries in every role's host_vars are now bare collection names, and the ansible_posix_version and community_general_version variables are dropped. Reason: The caps (ansible.posix <2.2.0, community.general <12.0.0) existed solely to preserve EL7 compatibility. EL7 support is now preserved by vendoring EL7-compatible modules into the roles that support EL7 managed nodes, and by tft-tests skipping collection installation when running on ansible 2.9. All roles in a collection must share one collection version, so this relaxation is applied centrally for consistency. Result: Generated meta/collection-requirements.yml files use bare collection names, matching the per-role changes already made, and pick up the latest ansible.posix and community.general.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Removing the collection caps can cause the Ansible 2.9 test path to install collection releases that are incompatible with that supported runtime, potentially breaking dependency setup or role testing. The PR is not merge-ready until the 2.9 installation path skips this step, retains compatible pins, or the risk is explicitly accepted. Possibly related PRs

Limit the “all roles” statement to the default policy.
Line 82 permits role-specific pins. Change “so that all roles track the latest releases” to “so that roles without a role-specific pin track the latest releases.” This keeps the documentation consistent with the supported exception.
Proposed wording
-# unconstrained so that all roles track the latest releases. EL7 compatibility
+# unconstrained so that roles without a role-specific pin track the latest releases. EL7 compatibility📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Restore Ansible 2.9 collection compatibility. The Ansible 2.9 path only disables GET_PYTHON_MODULES; tft-tests/tests/general/test.sh still calls lsrInstallDependencies, which installs meta/collection-requirements.yml through ansible-galaxy. Keep the version caps or add a 2.9-specific skip before collection installation, then update this comment.
