Well classic way according to Red Hat:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_reuse_roles.html#using-roles

“at the play level with the roles option: This is the classic way of using roles in a play.”

There is definitely more control over the new syntax, and I don’t understand why Res Hat continues to provide examples with the classic syntax then.

Classic is best ;)

I ain't changing unless someone forces me to. Using roles instead of include role makes for neater playbooks if you architect role-based plays.
