If you were relying on the previous incorrect behavior, you may be need to adjust your tasks. See U(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31354) for details. - Option O(ignore:follow) has been removed in Ansible 2.5, because this module modifies the contents of the file so O(ignore:follow=no) does not make sense.
