I separate my creation and provisioning into aws.yml and site.yml.

Often we start with a few servers and then increase the size later.

I'd like to use aws exact_count in the aws.yml but I do not want to allow destructive behavior.

It would be nice if we could pass allow_destroy to ec2_module so that exact_count would have "at least" semantics.

It can be pretty dangerous if you forget to limit the playbook correctly and accidentally delete a bunch of servers because your scope was too large.

I think non-destructive behaviour as a default would have avoided this situation as well.

Would a pr for this be considered?
