Patches
~~~~~~~
Three small runtime patches are employed to hook into Ansible in desirable
locations, in order to override uses of shell, the module executor, and the
mechanism for selecting a connection plug-in. While it is hoped the patches can
be avoided in future, for interesting versions of Ansible deployed today this
simply is not possible, and so they continue to be required.
Runtime Patches

Three small runtime patches are employed in ``strategy.py`` to hook into
desirable locations, in order to override uses of shell, the module executor,
and the mechanism for selecting a connection plug-in. While it is hoped the

today this simply is not possible, and so they continue to be required.
The patches are concise and behave conservatively, including by disabling
themselves when non-Mitogen connections are in use. Additional third party
plug-ins are unlikely to attempt similar patches, so the risk to an established
configuration should be minimal.
