[Tracker] Serious collection requirements violations that require version pinning

[gotmax23]

As per https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob/main/docs/policies.md#enforcement, we need to track violations of the Repository management policies. We also need to track violations when collection dependencies conflicts arise, or collections violate semantic versioning by doing breaking changes outside of major versions. When you file an issue against a collection for violating these policies, leave a comment with a link to the issue.

cyberark.pas is again violating this guideline (#235 (comment)). I filed cyberark/ansible-security-automation-collection#58.

dellemc.enterprise_sonic needs to be pinned to 2.0.0 in both Ansible 7 and Ansible 8 for two violations:

• (applies only to Ansible 8) [Tracker] Serious collection requirements violations that require version pinning #223 / [BUG]: Collection does not support ansible.netcommon 5.x.y, thus latest version will not be included in Ansible 8 until this is fixed ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic#267
• (applies to both Ansible 7 and 8) Collection Requirements Violation - Semantic Versioning ansible-collections/dellemc.enterprise_sonic#268

hetzner.hcloud needs to be pinned to 1.11.0 in both Ansible 7 and 8 for a semantic versioning violation: ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud#217

[felixfontein]

There has been a new release of dellemc.enterprise_sonic (2.2.0) which reverts the breaking change and declares compatibility with ansible.netcommon >5.0.0. This fixes the problems with Ansible 8 (except that the breaking change will still be mentioned in the next porting guide, even though it is no longer a breaking change - I guess we have to add an Ansible changelog entry for that), but has the downside of not allowing this release for the next Ansible 7 release since that one has ansible.netcommon 4.x.y. So we have to keep the pin for Ansible 7 (though now it has another reason), and undo it (with a changelog entry) for Ansible 8.

The issue with hetzner.hcloud is resolved (ansible-collections/hetzner.hcloud#217, #267).

cisco.meraki moved to a new repository: https://github.com/meraki/dashboard-api-ansible - I'll create PRs for ansible-build-data to adjust it.
