Collaboration description

This is a collaboration effort for the IBM Ansible Z team to try to understand the deprecation warnings we are seeing under various conditions. Although outside the scope of the teams mission, it is critical enough to divert time to understand if the problem is arising from the ibm_zos_core collection or something the team can deliver to the ansible-core community.

This collaboration should include issues thus there is no need to size this collaboration.

The issues should focus:

• Understanding the ansible-core code changes historically meaning find the commits and PRs associated to this change. See [Enabler] Understand ansible-core changes returning a UTF-8 warning #984
• Does the warning (even though it can be disabled) break a playbooks execution. See [Enabler] Recreate UTF-8 warning in a playbook #985
• Determine which modules are impacted (maybe not every module), have a good understanding which ibm_zos_core modules are impacted and if some of the community modules are impacted. See [Enabler] Determine the modules impacted by the UTF-8 warning #986
• Propose a solution either for ibm_zos_core or one for ansible-core or a work around that does not interrupt playbook execution. See [Enabler] Propose a solution for the UTF-8 warning #987
• Implement the solution. See [Enabler] Implement the solution for the UTF-8 warning #988
