Module option conversion to string
----------------------------------
Beginning in version 2.8, Ansible will warn if a module expects a string, but a non-string value is passed and automatically converted to a string. This highlights potential problems where, for example, a ``yes`` or ``true`` (parsed as truish boolean value) would be converted to the string ``'True'``, or where a version number ``1.10`` (parsed as float value) would be converted to ``'1.0'``. Such conversions can result in unexpected behavior depending on context.
This behavior can be changed to be an error or to be ignored by setting the ``ANSIBLE_STRING_CONVERSION_ACTION`` environment variable, or by setting the ``string_conversion_action`` configuration in the ``defaults`` section of ``ansible.cfg``.
Command line facts
------------------
``cmdline`` facts returned in system will be deprecated in favor of ``proc_cmdline``. This change handles special case where Kernel command line parameter
contains multiple values with the same key.
