 # IIAB implementers might instead consider these 2 GENERAL TECHNIQUES below
 # ("in an emergency!") e.g. if you must install an older version of Ansible:
 
-# TEMPORARILY USE ANSIBLE 2.9.16 (REMOVE IT WITH "pip uninstall ansible")
-#pip install ansible==2.9.16
+# TEMPORARILY USE ANSIBLE 2.9.17 (REMOVE IT WITH "pip uninstall ansible")
+#pip install ansible==2.9.17
 
 # TEMPORARILY USE ANSIBLE 2.4.2 DUE TO 2.4.3 MEMORY BUG. Details: iiab/iiab#669
