Why are Ansible Jobs Matching Non Qualifying Hostnames when Limiting Hosts with Regex?
Issue
When limiting an Ansible job with regex, some hosts included in the job run may not match the qualifying regex.
Example of limiting hosts with regex:
#ansible-playbook -i hosts hello-world.yml -l '~^[^\s]{5}[dqt][^\s].*[d4]$'
Environment
All Ansible versions when limit option is being used
