in last Thursday's Core meeting, it was suggested to discuss these here:

glossary of terms in the New World Order (and simplification/deconflict as appropriate) ACD, ansible-base, ansible-core, etc
do more to involve the community in /designing/ future changes (not just implementing) (ansible-devel mailing list?)
better docs for /design/ of collections, even after the fact

There's instructions included in the announcement for getting collection updates from Ansible 5 for users that wish to stay on ansible-core 2.11.x.
We are still interested in running a monthly virtual community meetup to fill in the gap between contributor summits and ansiblefests. We should be able to confirm a first agenda soon in expectation of a first meetup around January 18th.
A first iteration of the Ansible 5 packaging for Fedora 36 should be landing sooner rather than later, if you'd like to check it out or provide feedback it's up at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ansible/pull-request/19
