+    When upgrading from Rocky to Stein HAProxy configuration moves from using a
+    single configuration to assembling a file from snippets for each service.
+    Applying the HAProxy tag to the entire play ensures that HAProxy
+    configuration is generated for all services when the HAProxy tag is
+    specified. For details please see
