35Planned work
36============
37
38- Migrate non-base plugins and modules from the ``ansible/ansible`` repository to smaller collection repositories
39- Add functionality to ease transition to collections, such as automatic redirects from the 2.9 names to the new FQCN of the plugin
40- Create new ``ansible-base`` package representing the ``ansible/ansible`` repository
41
42Additional Resources
43====================
44
45The 2.10 release of Ansible will fundamentally change the scope of plugins included in the ``ansible/ansible`` repository, by
46moving much of the plugins into smaller collection repositories that will be shipped through https://galaxy.ansible.com/
