Hi @syncer @sever and @dmbaturin !
Can we discuss the need in this feature.
JunOS has never implemented it (despite the PR above), yet vyos.vyos seems to use ActonNetworkModule from netcommon Galaxy collection - it is maintained, patched and works well.
Having own action plugin will mean we will need to build it separately and maintain to meet Ansible version.

I wanted to understand if this feature is still wanted. Instead, we could fix vyos_facts, the argspec is built dynamically out of DOCUMENTATIOn and call it a day.
Thought?

Won't do as the requested feature is in netcommon and more advanced. I see no point in re-creating it specifically in this collection
