It looks that this has been a clear oversight from my side. *I do find this a very useful library*
but as you mentioned, since go team convention does not include packaging libaries that are not
needed by any binaries, there is probably no real value in getting this in.
As such, please prune the corresponding repositories for the following:
- golang-github-apenella-go-ansible
- golang-github-apenella-go-common-utils
- golang-github-sosedoff-ansible-vault-go

I feel sincerely sorry that an oversight from my side has ended up taking some of your busy schedule
and I apologize for making you spend your time needlessly. I'll try my best to make sure such mishapas
does not occur in the future, since it is not beneficial to anyone. And regardless of the outcome of
this, thanks a lot for taking a look at the RFS.
Best,
Ananthu
