+  - mysql_user, mysql_role - mysql/mariadb recent versions translate 'ALL
+    PRIVILEGES' to a list of specific privileges. That caused a change every time
+    we modified user privileges. This fix compares privs before and after user
+    modification to avoid this infinite change
+    (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/issues/77).
