      Reading the back and forth it sounds like it only uses it if it’s installed. But you can also turn it off in the ansible.cfg. Still seems like kind of a silly default behavior, as cowsay is a novelty.

      I met with the architect of Ansible last year. I should have asked him for the backstory on that.

        I’m guessing there’s an engineer or higher-up who is very much attached to the cowsay readout and they refuse to allow it to be Easter egg’d
