Deprecated Features
-------------------

- Since the google.cloud collection seems to be maintained again, we `cancelled \ 
the removal process \ 
<https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/main/removal_from_ansible.rst#cancelling-removal-of-an-unmaintained-collection>`__. \ 
So contrary to an earlier announcement, this collection is NOT deprecated and \ 
will NOT be removed from Ansible 8 \ 
(https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/105).

community.general 8.0.0. From that version on, you have set this option to \ 
``ref_protected`` explicitly, if you want to have a protected runner \ 
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/5925).
