Doc Text:
.New option in the `ssh` role to disable configuration backups You can now prevent old configuration files from being backed up before they are overwritten by setting the new `ssh_backup` option to `false`. Previously, backup configuration files were created automatically, which might be unnecessary. The default value of the `ssh_backup` option is `true`, which preserves the original behavior.

Description Rich Megginson 2023-06-22 13:06:59 UTC 
Instead of backing up the existing config file every time before applying the changes, have a new option ssh_backup which the user can use to tell the role to not backup the file.  The default is true, backup the file.  see https://github.com/linux-system-roles/ssh/pull/91
