+os_release: Ansible Role
+================================================================================
+
+Grabs and parses the contents of /etc/os-release.
+
+This file holds additional information that may not be provided by the setup
+module. For example, if we wanted to know whether or not a host has Manjaro
+installed, it is not easy to figure this out from the setup module. The setup
+module produces `ansible_distribution=Archlinux` while this role produces
+`os_release.ID=manjaro`.
