New pre-release: ansible-base 2.10.0rc2

[Rick Elrod]

Hi all- we're happy to announce that the general release of ansible-base
2.10.0rc2 is now available! This is a PRE-RELEASE release-candidate.

The ansible-base package consists of only the Ansible execution
engine, related tools (e.g. ansible-galaxy, ansible-test), and a very
small set of built-in plugins. Most content that was part of Ansible
2.9 and prior has been split off into individual Ansible Collections,
which can be installed via the ansible-galaxy tool, or an Ansible
community distribution that will snapshot a set of collections roughly
equivalent to what was in previous versions of Ansible. Most Ansible
playbooks and roles will require the installation of some of these
collections to be able to execute unmodified under ansible-base 2.10.

Please note that ansible-base 2.10.0rc1, released briefly to PyPI
earlier today, contained a flaw. If you happened to find and download
that release from PyPI before it was yanked, you are advised to
upgrade to 2.10.0rc2 instead.

How to get it
-------------

$ pip install ansible-base==2.10.0rc2 --user
